Draft at Oluthuone Haka, Helsinki. 24/05/2025.
Poured clear and light amber in color.
Caramel and toasted malty notes dominates. Pleasantly dry. Good drinkability, maybe not the classic ESB but not complaining.

Sweet tropical fruits, ripeness, smooth mouthfeel. Canned pineapple. Expected more obviously. Not bad but not Root standard IMO.

Minerally, grassy and grainy pils with a good bitterness. Not the cleanest beer though. Some off flavors. Either the line or the beer.
