Poured murky deep orange/light amber.
Like having a sip of meat broth. Salty, umami. Clearly not intended to enjoy on its own in any way, maybe to pour over meat/stew?

CBH Winter. Hazy yellow color and tiny head. Waat, meat soup aroma. Light-bodied. Very salty, spicey, umami, like drinking salty meat soup. "What the hell?" is a good comment about this one. It's been a while when I have had this kind of Finnish beer.

CBH Winter. Murky dark yellow colour and small white head. Odd veggie-fruity aroma. Medium-bodied. Tropical fruits in the flavour, very sweet. Also lots of odd berries including lingonberry. There must been some failure in the fermenting.
