Miksu (1478), Jyväskylä, Finland Oct 19, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Copper color with creamy head. Sweetish aroma with biscuity maltiness, hints of herbal hops and lemon. Light biscuity and honeyish malt flavor with honey, some herbal hops and medium to firm bitterness. The bitterness is somewhat coarse and there is not enough maltiness to back it up. larsga (2480), Oslo, Norway Oct 5, 2008 Big offwhite shiny head. Amber body with light carbonation. Papery malty peppery aroma. Dry peppery roasty caramel taste with papery notes and some rubber. Chalky mouthfeel. The aftertaste is the same. It’s ok, but boring. (0.33l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.) Marsiblursi (1479), göteborg, Sweden Sep 5, 2008 (Bottle) Pours deep golden to light orange amber with stable off-white head. The aroma is of straw, grain and light wort-like malt alongside clear tones of grassy, herbal/spicy and light skunky hops. Just a whisper of dried oranges, resiny fruits, crisp bread and caramel is also notable. The malt is too grainy and the noble hop is too unclean to be really pleasant. The flavour is near medium malty and near medium hoppy with a light dry finish. Grassy, bready and hay-like. Light sweet and light to medium bitter. The mouthfeel is clean but somewhat dead. The finish is dry and hoppy. Near medium bodied. TBone (5261), Pori, Finland Aug 25, 2008 <i>Bottled</i> (BB 12/2008)<br />
