Cask (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Kekri05) actually had what was called ’hophead eXXtra’@4.1, but it’s probably not different enough to warrant a new entry
Rich orange, tiny head. Flowery aromatic hops on the nose. Refreshing body, a sweet malty backbone, but a really pleasant sweet and sticky hoppy kick too. Drying hoppy finish. The ’eXXtra’ was certainly decently hopped. Should re-rate.

Not as bitter as Huvila´s Black Door H.O.D.A. Not a bad bitter but easy to forget. Everything is ok but still something is missing if you compare it with other Huvila ales.

(Draught at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-02-29) Clear. Light brown colour. Lots of hops in nose. Mostly bitter taste but there’s a weakish body, too. A bit dry.

Draught/Casked (served as real ale@Black Door, Helsinki). Yellow colour, foamish bubbly head. Bitter, hoppy citric nose (sour orange). Weak hoppy fruitish flavour with hops growing in the dry finish. Long bitter aftertaste.

A typical hoppy blonde summer ale 101. Dryer than most in aftertaste, though.

Draught @HBF2005
Pale yellow, a bit hazy, small white head, some lace. Some flowery hops in the nose. Medium-bodied, hoppied but not very interesting brew. Needs more IBUs for "hophead". (6/2/6/3/10 2.7)
Re-rated, draught
Orange hazy, steady off-white head. Flowery hoppy nose. Very British-like bitter. Not really for "hopheads". (7/3/7/3/13 3.3)

(Draught@HBF 2005) Slightly hazy golden color with a medium, vanishing head. Aromatic-hoppy, fruity aroma. Sweetish, fruity and flowery flavor. Medium-bodied, medium-carbonated, slightly thick palate. Quite nice and enjoyable, but maybe a bit too sparingly hopped brew.
