(Re-rate, bottle, 0.5 - L041 - BB 14.08.2014, from Alko, 20140207) The beer poured deep golden and almost clear. Its head was quite large, long lasting and white. Aroma had citricness, grapefruit and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, pine, grapefruit, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A very nice citric IPA. An imperessive improvement from the version I’ve tasted 11 months ago.

50 cl bottle @ Olutravintola Konttori, BBE 13.11.2013
Aroma has berries, caramel, hay and grainy malt typical to German lagers. Flavour is spicy with toffee, Belgian yeast and brown sugar. A bit thin and the spices are too strong. Still better than I expected.

Bottle shared by Cuso, many thanks! Aroma is ice cream, very gentle hops. Taste is hoppy bitter with no significant hops flavour. Watery, thin body. No malt taste. Lightly hazy colour. Finish is plain bitter. Boring.

Bottle from rosenbergh, many thanks. Shared with Gurthnar. Golden color with medium white head. Promising fruity, malty aroma with aromatic hops. Quite strong hoppy taste, overlapping sweet malt and some fruitiness. Little bit harsh, but overall drinkable beer.
