33 cl bottle @ Hirvihuhta, BBE 04/2025 Aroma has honey, sugar, grain and fruit candy. Flavour has honey, buttery malt. Some milky grain in the finish. Honey beers are not my thing but this one has at least good drinkability. Tastes like lager with all this graininess.

Draught @ SOPP Helsinki 2024. Thanks VastActiv! Aroma has buttery malt and quite nothing else. Flavour has menthol-like hoppiness, grain and minerals. Aldo butter. Not exactly my thing.

Flavours were grass, grain, straw, herbalness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy, herbal and bitter. Nice.
