22nd May 2008. Light bitter that is quite hoppy (but nothing like a US IPA). Slightly watery palate. Not too bitter. Enjoyed this best when very cold.

An excellent bitter. One of the best bottled bitters brewed by Huvila ( or any other finnish brewery ). Not available anymore. Used to be on tap in Huvila.

Bottle 0.5 l. Hazy light brown, smallish lacy head. Lot’s of fresh fruity hops on the nose. Initially poured too cold and started out just bitter with a bit thinnish feel. After warming up, bitterness was cut with very nice sweetish malty and yeasty body. Very nice unfiltered taste. One of the best – if not the best – finnish beers available in bottle. Altho pretty expensive.

Pretty much like the others say. Nice bitter, fruity and malty.
Too much to add, too little to say :)

Bottle. Hazy golden with a huge offwhite head. Fruity hop aroma, berries in particular. Malty flavours, notes of biscuit as well as of berries. Medium body. A brilliant bitter.

Bottled. Aroma has floral hops with some malts and a hint of fruits. Hazy, golden coloured with a short, white head. Taste is slightly bitter with some sweetness. It has floral hops with some citrus. Medium bodied. Good beer.

Draught Hazy copper colour with greenish shine; small white head, stable & lacy. Hops, dry, but with a little cheesy streak. Stale cookies, dry berries. Dry old hops taste, cheesy, long-flowing hops aftertaste. Medium bodied, lots of grist slickness. Despite some lower marks, overall it is not a bad beer; but the hops tasted too old.
