Rated on June 7th, 2014. Pours slightly hazy, nice white foam. Orange. Aroma has smoke and spices, lager base is also detectable. Taste is quite soft, spices get stuck in your mouth and linger for longer. Smokiness is stronger at first, then weakens. Finish is somewhat sweeter and maltier. Interesting but not something I’d like to have all the time.

Bottle at Winston Fest. Amber color, good off-white head. Aroma has caramel, cardboard and light grassy notes. Medium-bodied. Papery, malty, slightly grassy and harsh. Unbalanced.

Lots and lots of foam when pouring. Aroma is somewhat fruity and musty with apricot and hops. Flavour is also musty with some fruits, cardboard and floury notes. Also some hops and herbal tones. After all foaming is done, no CO2 is left in the beer. Perhaps too old already, somewhat refreshing still though.

Tap at Tuulensuu, Tampere. Colour is cloudy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, spices, yeast and malts.

Golden color. Slightly spicy, bready nose. Very malty, with smoke fairly strong, but spice is subdued to the right level. Lingering malty finish, with some spice. Not bad.

Tap at Gallow’s Bird, Espoo. Colour is hazy yellow with small creamy white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, lemon, citrus, some grain, hints of spices and malts. Well, this is not typical kölsch at all. Nice summertime beer.

Draft sample @ Birra Expo’14 Piacenza. Brune-acajou, crémeux blanc cassé, dorée au verre. Arôme offre un bouquet malté, caramel se note bien avec un petit rétro sucre brun rappelant une steinbier, léger grillé sur une pointe de châtaigne. Palais est malté, note brulée - caramélisée, biscuité avec un petit côté fruité noir. Légèrement poussiéreuse, malt cara et pointe chocolatée. Sucre résiduel avec un houblonné ajoutant une amertume discrète et noble oscillant sur l’herbacé et un citronnée léger.
