Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy and resin hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
This is a good drinkable brew and went well with lunch. TBone (6803), Pori, Finland

Amber color, small steady white head. Fruity, piney-mango aroma. Piney, mango flavor. A bit sweet. Simple uninspiring IPA. Probably the best as fresh from tap, now just dull.
