Draft @ Juttutupa, Helsinki. Clear light golden beer with medium, stable pure white head. Aroma and flavor has malts, papery cardboard and citrusy notes. Typical bulk lager, nothing more, nothing less.

A golden and slightly hazy beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has mango, papaiya, only light citrus, hint of coconut, fresh and sweet juicy. Taste has mango, grapefruit, some lime, much more citrus than in the aroma, some bitterness. Medium bodied. This is good beer, now there is feeling that good beer is brewed without too much of compromises.

Spandert av Rune. Delt i WCveien. Stråfarget. Nesten klar. Høyt kremaktig skum som daler sakte. Teppelacing. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørket frukt. Hint av karamell.

500ml can, beer gift from djoeye. Shared with Finn. Pretty nice in the the glass with a clear golden body under a remaining white head, crocheted lacing on the glass. Quite inviting on the nose with citrus fruits, lemony hops to the fore. Soft fruity taste, hints of orange and lemon, followed by a piney bite towards the finish. Quite alright.
