33cl bottle (as "Vormsi Testpruul Okkaline Õlu (IPA 5.5%) ") in Tallinn. Pours very hazy amber with almost no head, just some bubbles when pouring. Somewhat strange slightly earthy aroma with notes of ripe fruits, citrus, malt and hints of herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with almost a bit funky flavours, mild acidity and moderate bitterness. Strange, but still quite drinkable.

Tap at Pörgu, Tallinn. Deep amber color, steady beige head. Fruity piney, berryish, a bit sticky aroma. Medium-bodied. Front has sweet berries (strawberry) then piney flavors. Some vegetables-wood notes in the finish. Sweet, home-brewish ipa - maybe yeast didn’t work properly.
