50cl bottle at tasting, thx Juha H.

Poured clear and golden in color.
Grainy, bready malty goodness. Round mouthfeel, light caramel, dries out towards finish. Solid.

440ml can from the brewery.
Poured golden in color, thin white head.
Crushable brew. Best in the series so far. Crisp, spot on bitterness, citrus, resiny hops. 6.5%-> and this would be even better.

Canned at tasting, thx tiong.
Poured hazy and light yellow in color.
Feels really fresh this one, has mostly citrusy hops, some grapes, green hops and nectarines. Delicious. Scaringly drinkable.

From keg at Etko Brewing, Kerava, Finland.
Poured pitch black in color, not much head. Oily looks, soft and gently mouthfeel.
Fairly sweet with milk chocolate up front. Roasted malts in the back. On the sweeter side. Woody/oaky notes as well. Smooth, hides abv, but sweeter than I expected and hoped for.
