a good tasting beer with refreshing flavor enhanced with a modest hop and slightly more powerful malt flavor. citrus juice tartness like lemon juice component adds interest and depth to the experience. a bit earthy and sweet in wood it is aromatic and soft as has been described... not bad.

bottle, pours light gold with a thin white head. Lemon, skunk, and hoppy aroma. Light malt, hay, and some spicy hops in the finish. Crisp mouthfeel, light alcohol in the finish. Easy drinker.

Bottle from Carringtons, Didsbury. Rich golden colour with thick white head that turns to a thin film. Malt aroma with a touch of toffee sweetness. Sweetness also in the taste which is balanced by a citrus edge in the finish. Crisp and very light for the ABV - perhaps a little too light - but quite a pleasant drink

Draught@Leskinen, Oulu. 6.3% ABV. Yellow colour with small white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables, some hops and mild notes of earth as well. Flavour is earthy and hoppy along with some slight papery notes. A bit boring, but indeed a refresing beer.

Keg - - Pullman, Helsinki - as Winterfestbier 6.3%
Pissy greeny yellow. Creamy aroma, touch of asparagus says Phil, artichoke says Anna. Pleasant hoppy body, builds up over time - seems to be whole hersbrucker or similar, with its sticky flowers. There is also some paperiness. Simple malty body. No hint of alcohol at all. Refreshing lager.
