Opaque colour, small steady beige head and some lace. Nose is quite light - it has wood (even fresh wood), light toasted notes and some birch sap kind of sweetness. Medium-bodied. Front has fresh wood, then some sherry, roasted malts and coffee in the flavour. Quite easy to drink. Not bad but more simple than Fiskarsin Tammitsaari (Oloroso BA), which probably used same kind of barrels.

330ml bottle bought from djoeye. Shared with Finn. Rocky beige head. Close to clear amber coloured body. Spotty lacing on the glass. Inviting aroma of earthy malts and ripe fruits. Slightly jam-like flavours, moments of caramel and leafy hops. Decent malt bitter finish. Pleasant to drink. (Session at Finn's, Tromsø 14.11.2018).

Bottled 330ml (from brewer)
A bit hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is a bit farmhousey, some leaves. Light to medium-bodied. Not as dry as expected. Some fruityness, pale malts, despite of aroma no funkyness in the flavour. Quite boring, even watery for its ABV. It is the first commercial Brut IPA in Finland, perhaps needs some pimping to be a bit more exciting.

Tap at Panema, Helsinki. Colour is cloudy golden with small thick white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, citrus, dryness, brut yeast and malts. Musty like most bruts. Well it is first Finnish brut IPA so congratulations on that!
