On tap at Põhjala, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of mandarin oranges that almost come across buttery (i.e., diacetyl) and some biscuity malt. Flavour is rather jumbled, with orange, some earthy notes, and bready malt. Not a good hop expression, and the oranges don’t help. Not great.

On tap at Põhjala, pours a mostly clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has lots of tangy hops, some grassiness, herbaceous notes, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a strangely herbal hop expression—almost juniper-like—with a dry bready malt base. Clean enough, just not a huge fan of the hop expression. Decent.

On tap at Põhjala, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is well-hopped, with big grassy hops and some herbaceous notes. Flavour is dry and heavily hopped, with herbaceous hops, some bitter grass, and crisp biscuity malt. Not the most vibrant hop expression, but it’s clean, very dry, and drinkable. Good.

On tap at Põhjala, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle spicy hops, grass, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is laid-back in the department, with gentle grass, straw, and crisp crackery notes. Clean but under-hopped for me. Okay.

On tap at Pub Olarin Ossi, pours a clear piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty cheap, with corn, straw, not ouch else. Flavour is that of a macro lager, with cheap grassiness, corn, and straw. Nothing beyond marginally drinkable. Meh.

On tap at Tauko Baari, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has pithy stone fruits, earthy hops, and some allium. Flavour is full of pithy stone fruits, allium, citrus, and bready malt. Pithy and oddly expressed hop-wise. It’s alright.

On tap at Gallows Bird - Tapiola, pours a hazy dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is jumbled, with bready malt, earthiness, not much else. Flavour is sweet, with syrupy caramel malt, bready notes, some earthiness. No real hops, lacking balance. Amateur nonsense.
