Cask at The Union Tavern, London on 24 June. Golden ale with some good strong flavours, but turns a little watery on the palate. Very drinkable as a session beer.

50 cl bottle @ Utsjoki, BBE 04/2014 Aroma has vegetables, pea soup, metal, some toffee and caramel malt. Flavour has vegetables, ashy notes, some caramel and toffee. Dry finish with some harsh malt and ash. Laitila(!) house flavour is quite strong here – most likely a bit contaminated. Not completely ruined though.
