Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear red beer with a thin off-white head. The arom ais acidic bret’y combined with notes of berries and wood. The flavor is acidic woody combined with notes of berries - can’t tell it is blueberries - , leading to a dry woody and bretty finish. The body is thin, but I quite like it.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy red brown, small pink head. citric yeasty nose. Lemon and citric acid are accentuated. There is not much barnyard, and just as in Cantillon Blåbær Lambik the blueberry flavour is hard to pinpoint, resulting in more of a general fruitiness. Fresh and quite tasty, but not reaching the complexity of the real lambics.

Draught@Pikkulintu. Dark and deep red colour, with not very much head. Aroma is blueberries along with some slight cherry hints. Flavour is mainly sourness in a rather unpleasant way.

(Bottle at the brewery) Clear straw yellow color, white head. Typical bottom fermented scent, but still with a nice fruitiness as well. Fresh hoppy lager taste with a hint of fruits also in the taste. All in all a vice very drinkable lager beer.

Draught. Citric paint aroma. Black colour, small brown head. Nice thick mouthfeel. The flavour is citric in much the same way as their other beers, but the flavour here is good. Very late roasted coffee flavour. OK level of alcohol. Roast barley bitterness in the aftertaste.

Draught. Almost clear dark golden colour. Small white head. Sweet and fruity aroma and flavour. The fruitiness is slightly citric. Disappointing aftertaste, a little bad bitterness on the sides of my tongue. Rather boring, but not too bad.
