Tap at Craft Room. Rather thin body, medium carbonation. Lots of unpleasant burnt flavour, also assertive caramelly maltiness, some oxidation. Hops character lurking somewhere below this mess. Average at best.

Tap at Craft Room. Thin body, med-low carbonation. Medium bitterness, med-light grainy astringency. Med-light honeyish maltiness, vague light grassy hops character. Drinkable in small quantities, astringency would begin to bother me soon. Average.

Bottle at Spicy Days. Oxidized, with a bit of astringency to go with it. Med-high bitterness, which is a bit rough, grassy earthy flavours. The fine fruity hops aromatics are gone if they were here even. Average at best.

Tap at Kvart. Very pale yellow-golden body, white head. White wine and flowery aroma, lightly herbal. Lean, dry taste, very dry, though there are sweetish touches. Starts fruity (white wine rather than grape), continues on minerally, with no bitterness. Gemišt-like, fascinating, not necessarily particularly tasty, but clean.
