Draught@Bruuveri, Helsinki (thanks KimJohansen). Hazy yellowish orange colour, mediumsized white creamy head. Aroma is sweet malts, fruits and some slight honeyish sweetness as it warms up. Flavour is yeast, quite bananaish sweet. A bit messy but still pleasant. Apparently I was served the wrong beer the first day I had this, since that one was a lot like German Hefeweizen. The one shared with Kim lacked that, but was quite messy sweet.
