355 ml bottle. 5.3%. Finland. Clear amber colour with small white head. Sweet caramel/toffee aroma. Sweetness in flavour too. Hoppy bitterness. Soft carbonation. Not very interesting.

It poured a clear dark golden-caramell liquid with a small white foam. It had a smell of sweet butter scotch, caramell, malt and rosehip (nypon). It had a medium-high carbonation, and tasted of caramell, malt and some grassy hops. Mild bitterness. Decent beer.
