Cask@O’Connells, Tampere. Very dark brown colour, mediumsized brownish head. Some earth, malts and mild fruityness in the aroma. Flavour is big earthyness along with mild roasted notes and some citrus fruits.. Does the earthyness belong here or was this real ale past it’s prime?

Hazy golden color; thin creamy head. Light fresh aroma, some apples. Easily drinkable, a bit malty, dry, with a good hopping, light yeasty flavor too. Easy, but refreshing and balanced.
