Keg at SalamaNation, Helsinki.
Poured dense orange juicy looks with a white lasting head.
Pineapple juicy, light body, not really showing any malt base. No bitterness, feels bit chalky and empty.

Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#30. Cloudy yellow in appearance. Citrus is dominant in both aroma and taste, but as there's plenty of strength about this brew it's a slower sipper. Sweetish in its lingering tropical, but more pine heavy aroma and taste.

375ml bottle. Didn't have the base beer so no comparison for me, however the 2024 edition was really good and I assume similar.
Pours a hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma of dried fruits, raisins, caramel, whisky. Taste is sweet, rich, loads of dried fruit character, fruit cake, raisins, figs, dates, prunes etc. caramel, oaky and whisky notes coming through, warming alcohol. Full bodied, smooth. Really nice.

Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#13. Mildly hazed golden coloured brew. Tropical fruit and pine is abundant in aroma, with the latter dominant in taste. Although it's full tasting its texture is a tad weak compared to this.
