Tap at Maltainen Metso, Vantaa (as Metso APA). Originally rated 20150213. Colour is slightly cloudy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, grape, pine, hints of caramel, hops and malts. Hoppiest beer from Suomenlinna ever. Actually this is quite good and their best beer. Nice surprise. Some watery mineral elements in body but very enjoyable. Label says APA but this is more like IPA.

Draught @ Maltainen Riekko. Aroma is a bit odd and sweet with fruits and fruit candy. Also mellow gluey tones and vanilla. Flavour is also rather unusual with fruit candy, fruity hops, menthol, some minerals and caramel. There is a weird metallic vibe on both aroma and flavour. Not sure if I like this or not.

(Draught at Kaisla, Helsinki, 14 Nov 2014) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, cacao, coffee and black rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, liquorice, a touch of juniper berries and a dry finish with a good roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Well made and tasty porter. Nice one.

Draught @ Kaisla. Aroma is rather mellow with grainy malt and butter. Flavour has butter, some harsh malt, minerals and mellow herbal & grassy hops. Finish is a bit acrid. A solid pils.
