Bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Svenska Dagar 2006).
After the pop thick plumes of CO2 pour out of the bottle.
Characteristic white/wheat smell - possibly Belgian, maybe German.
Tastes sickly and alcoholic, not as refined as brewed down south.

Rerate: Bottle (Alko) - batch 234 (7-3-6-4-13=3.3)
On pouring, a beautiful fruity aroma, peaches aplenty. On pouring,
it’s more of a traditional wheaty aroma. Crisp carbonation, slightly
vegetal retronasals. Has hints of its strength when swallowed, but
certainly not boozy, and covers the 8% very well. Refreshing even. Anna
particularly thought it was a tasty one that fitted in well after the
sauna. Taste fairly simple, mostly the light grainy body, but this
comes into its own in the finish where there’s a beautiful peppery and
sticky green hoppy finish. So even if the taste underwhelmed, the final
memory is a positive one. Note - I poured this completely clear, and
had rinsed the bottle before thinking about topping it up. Furseth (1333), Kungälv, Sweden

On one hand (heh, check picture) there’s a lot of fruity flavour, but something chemical disturbs it. Soap maybe? Very hazy, golden honey colour. In the taste there’s fresh fruit and flowery tones. A bit of alcohol in the finish, which lovers the grade a bit. Skinnyviking (4171), Copenhagen, Denmark
