A bit hazy orange colour, cloudy white head. Bottle was a bit gusher. Medicinal tart aroma. Light-bodied. Active carbonation. Medicinal and citric tartness. Some fruityness but doesn't show mango as well as Viikinäinen raspberry. It means this is somewhat one-dimensional sour bomb. Quite sout it is. Hopefully next batch is more mellow (like in the Viikinäinen case).

Aroma has smoky tones, citron and worty tones typical to grätzers. Flavour has smoke, licorice, citron, some grapefruit and orange. A smoked strong on citrus fruits. Not a beer I’d have another time but ok.

Amber colour, medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is mildly smokey but also dry yeasty, grassy, sticky. Light to medium-bodied. Mildly smokey, good carbonation. Flavour is slightly tart, dry yeasty stickyness also in the taste. Feels a bit off but had more smoke than the first time I tried this (on tap).

Tap at WinstonFest. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Tartish a bit medicinal aroma. Light-bodied. Tart pineapple, citrus, hints of coconut. Fancy berliner weisse.

33 cl bottle @ home. BBE info unreadable but I understood from the brewery that this was of an old-ish batch. Aroma has passionfruit, hops and some citrus. Flavour has minerals, citrus, some passionfruit and some sweet-ish malt. Somewhat crisp and refreshing.

Bottle from brewery. Smell of smoke, malt, some earth. Cloudy amber colour, beige head. Aroma of fruit, smoke, some yeastiness in finish. Also earth and malt to be noted. Much less smoky than most other smoked beers. Quite sweet. Lively, soft carbon, viscous texture. "Smoky fruity" is a weird combo, but actually it works quite well.

Smell of mango, sour fruit, yeast. Muddy lemon colour, extreme white head. Aroma of sour fruit, yeast. Acidic in berliner weisse style. Not too much mango to be noted. Lively carbon. Very sour, too sour for my liking.

Hazy dark pinky-red colour, small pinky head. Lots of berryish raspberry in the nose. Lime tartness. Light-bodied. Mouthpuckering acidity, raspberry, lime in the flavour. Long lingering lime tartness in the aftertaste. Nice raspberry here and if you like tart, this is your beer.
