sayravai (3183), Helsinki, Finland May 9, 2008 (Bottled) Hazy darkish red with a small head. Fruity, aromatic-pine-hoppy, strawberryish aroma, like a toned-down Nogne IPA. Freshly hoppy, berry-fruity flavor with a solid malty base. Nothing much changes with yeast. Medium-bodied with pretty low carbonation. A decent brew, but could use some more hops.
