Bottle at home. Clear, copper-gold pour with a receding, white head. Some malt and caramel in the aroma, slight pine and herbs. Decent flavor, a lot of sweetness hitting the tongue at first. There is just the faintest hint of maple sugar, plus a bit of citrus bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes sweet, slightly sticky, with hints of alcohol and moss. An alright beer.

Bottled 500ml (K-Kamppi, BB 12/2011, ABV 4.1%)
Clear amber color, small white head, some lace. Aroma has light honey and citrus. Light body. Flavor has some light citrusy hoppyness, but otherwise honey is dominating the flavor. Light palate. Although has honey in it, not overly sweet. Oily mouthfeel. Light lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Another pretty boring but clean golden ale.

500ml bottle at 4.1%. Pours amber with a thin, frothy head. Aroma is honey and pale malt, a bit thin. Taste is pale lagery to start, some corn in the finish. A bit crap, really.
