Draught, 5.2% at the brewpub. Weak citric aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Big stable creamy white head. The flavour starts off citric, then gets sour. It sure tastes like an infection, but it tastes OK. Lemony, orangy and other fruits grapefruit and raisin, even some weird whisky notes. Medium bitterness.

Golden color, slightly cloudy, not much much head. Slight passion fruit aroma, yeast, some hops and buttery notes. Sweet malty, very crisp hoppy bitterness. Tasty long bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice ... Kölsch?

Hazy amber color, not much head - looks a bit similar like Lammin Sahti. Banana and phenol in the nose, almost sahti-like. Nose was strong, but flavors are light: banana, juniper, candy, mild hops in the finish. Very odd weizenbier ... one of kind.
