Somewhat pale gold with a short white head. Sweet malty honey aroma. Medium-full body with plenty of carbonation. A brown sugar malt tone mixes with herbal hops that surface more at the end leaving a dryness on the palate. Molasses malt flavor is left faintly on the tongue after hops have slowly diminished.

Draugh at Vihreä Haltiatar, Jyväskylä - sold as Winterfestbier 6.3 %. Malty, honeyish and sulphury aroma. Sweetish malty, honeyish and sulphury flavor with enough bitterness for a balance. Somewhat one dimensional with disturbing sulphury note.

My version had 6,3 % ABV. The bottle looks good, but the red on the label is a bit strange. The beer in the glass is very zippy, fine creamy foam. Tastes strong and malty, spicy finish. 6,3 % ABV are well hidden. Not bad!

Golden and very clear. Medium body and left no lacing. Slightly flowery and a but too much on the sweet side for my taste. Still quite pleasant.

Bottle. Moderate yeasty, sour, light malty. Small white fizzy head, fully diminishing, pale yellow body. Light bitter, short duration. Light to medium body, dry texture, lively carbonation, light metallic finish. Nothing special...
