An orange beer with a huge though disappering beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of grass and fresh hops. The flavor is sweet caramel with an OK bitter hoppy end. An OK, but average beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty yellowish golden with a rather limited head. Dominated by malt in both aroma and flavours with notes of aromahops. A Christmas beer but a close relative to the same brewery’s Oktoberfestbier. 200501 and 080802

Bottle 50cl. @ home.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, dusty, malt sour notes, light hoppy. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090201]

Bottle. Brick-dusty aroma. Golden colour, small white head. Nice flavour, slightly sweet and a little alcoholic. Turning malty. Good mouthfeel.

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.

Clear golden with medium white creamy head. Sweet aroma with malty and mild hoppy notes. Hoppy flavour with fruity and piney notes. Finished bitter. Not bad at all.

Peacharoma. Full bodied, malty, peachy flavor. Some hops come through, especially in the aftertaste. Butterscotch. Nice beer, alcoholic for its modest ABV.

Bottle. Golden colour with a big white head. Grainy light hop aroma and a light sweet malty light bitter taste. Medium body and a sweet finish.
