0.5L bottle, very little head, clear light amber colour, dominant herbal hoppy aroma with some metalic notes, a bit reminiscent of a lager, malty flavour of bread caramel and some candy with a strong complementing bitterness. medium bitter sweetish aftertaste. Quaffable and easy to drink.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear, dark brown with a large, frothy head. Aroma is bread and some slightly skunky fruity hops. Some bread to start. Fruity finish with some skunk. Some bready yeast on the aftertaste. Tad thin. Not a bad beer, just a bit boring.

Warning! Early amateur rating! A slow grower this beer. Fruity but also bitter. Good!

Bottle. Pours an enticing, amber-gold with a fine, foamy white head. Malty aroma with some grain notes. Light to medium sweetness, with modest bread and caramel, then some understated earth and citrus bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes lightly sweet, malty, with a slight hop pesence. Not bad. Very basic.

50cl bottle from Stockmann Vantaa. Poured light copper color with a soapy white head, nice lacing. Aroma is malty and slightly hoppy. Flavor is toffee, hops and malt. Ends quite bitter. Quite good considering the low ABV.

Bottle. Clear amber color with a small beige head. Aroma of somewhat grainy malt, light caramel hints and some slightly earthy/grassy hops. Sweetish malty flavor with a bit of bread and a bitter earthy hops finish. Light-medium-bodied, a bit watery. Quaffable.
