(Draught at Bruuveri, 20120330) The beer poured golden and a little bit hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had metallicness, malts and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, metallicness, malts, mild sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was mostly bitter. Quite harsh and thin but not compleletly bad.

This beer has been named after fellow beer blogger Ari "Arde" Juntunen. Not a Ratebeerian but the beer hunter like we are.
Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. Light fruity aroma, hints of pear. Medium-bodied. Sweetish fruity, slightly grainy flavor. Some late bitterness and alcohol sweetness. Short bitter finish. Not their best IPA, tacky flavor or then this was not the best keg.

Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. Grainy aroma has some citrus, or dish cleanser lemon. Light bodied. Grainy German kellerbier type maltyness, light citrusy hoppyness. Decent sauna beer and probably quite ok with food.

Draught @ Bruuveri, Helsinki

Pours dark orange with a smooth head. Mild aroma of dark fruits, grassy hops, malts and hints of caramel and berries. Taste is quite sweet and malty with notes of bitter English hops, caramel and hints of fruity hops too. Long lasting bitter and sticky finish with hints of sweet fruits and caramel. Okay, quite hoppy but a bit onedimensional IPA.

Tap @ St.Urho´s. Poured black with a beige, lasting head. Aroma was barbeque sauce, anise and roasted malt. Flavor was pretty much the same, along with hops and some liquirice notes. Very strange, the BBQ didn´t do it for me. Light to medium bodied.
