Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Deep golden, rich head. Mild bready nose. Caramelly and light-medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Mild doughy malt is the main feature. Low hop rate and bitterness. Mild and very drinkable.

Bottle, 4.4%. Caramelly and slightly rough hop aroma. Clear amber colour. Very small head. The flavour is a little buttery, also caramelly. Hint of bitterness.

Bottled (from K Citymarket, Vaasa). Reddish amber colour, mediumsized beige foamy head. Aroma is fruits, wood, come vegetables as well as mild maltyness. Flavour is vegetables, malts, some flowery and grassy hops along with mild earthy notes. Very bittery finish. Rather nice actually.

Clear golden with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with malty and caramel notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour with malty and caramel notes. Finished bitter.

Bottled (BB 01/2011). Tnx oh6gdx! Clear amber-copper color, small off-white head, some lace. Aroma has rye, caramel malts and honey melon. Pale malty flavor with some caramel and quite hoppy finish. Crisp carbonation. Aftertaste is long and bitter. A bit thin (like 4.4% indicates), but quite nice Finnish grocery store beer - hoppy and tasty.

The color is dark golden and the aroma has notes of malt and hay. The flavor has sweetness and dusty notes of malt, caramel citrus (mostly grapefruit). The choice of hops isn’t really me.
