Celtika Blonde

33cl bottle, present from my brother, part of a gift pack. Not particulary blonde, quite dark gold in colour, thickish white head. Nice spicy floral nose, malty palate with a touch of sweetness. A good robust style.

bottle. Hazy golden yelllow, large and fluffy head. Spicy and quite sour in a fruitzy way. Hints of gooseberry and currant. Slightly hoppy in the lingering finish.

330ml bottle (Tuulensuu, Tampere, French days 2008) shared by Tbone - thanks! Cloudy orange, thin light head. Alcoholic orange sharp aroma. Lively carbonation, harsh acidic nature. Taste matches - sour too. Some soapiness - don’t know if it’s supposed to be this way.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized white. Aroma is strawberries, hops and yeast. Flavour is toffee, strawberries and yeast. Quite rubbery notes in the aftertaste too.

Orange golden color, small white head. Odd herbs and grassy hops in the nose. Straw and herbs in the flavor, unbalanced brew, some odd leathery and twisted flavors.

Bottled. Cloudy golden, brief head. Citric nose with some cinnamon. Dusty and fruity with some cellar notes. Medium bodied with mellow mouthfeel: Low bitterness.

Nice misty golden colour, smooth and refreshing. Unfortunately a little bit bitter, and a lot thin on taste. When drank really cold, this is a nice beer. But in truth, this isn’t much of a compliment.
