(Bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-04-17 -- shared with JK54B and Jukka S, thanks!) Dark amber and hazy. Large white head. Frutitiness and lots of pine in aroma. Full bodied and lightly dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, pine, fruitiness, yeast and bitterness in taste. Fruity and bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Hazy and golden coloured with a large head. Somewhat fruity and perfumy, with further notes of spices, flowers and citrus.

Bottled (Pikkulintu, BB 12/2014). Clear deep amber color, small off-white. Sweet beery-like aroma (strawberry, panna cotta, wild berry). Crisp carbonation, foamy mouthfeel. Spicey, lemon fruity ... kind of basic Belgian ale, hoppy/alcoholic aftertaste ... I expected this beer to be funky!

A fantastic dirty ale with loads of must, hay, oranges and a nice punch of herbal and flowery hops. The flavour is rather complex with layers of funk, hops, dry malt and fruit mixing. The best easter beer this year!

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours a bit hazy orange with an impressive, creamy, white head. Super lacings in largeblotches. Long duration as well. Aroma has yeast (and I could detect some brett), oranges, light toasted caramel, biscuits and a light flowery hops note. Highish carbonation, light and dry mouthfeel, very fitting to the beer. Flavour is quite dry, good use of brett, ginger, light bready malts and lots of fine, dry hops. Long, lightly spiced hoppy aftertaste. Good, but yeah... it will probably be better next year.

Clear golden towards amber with a bubbling white head. Medium yeasty aroma with exotic fruity esters. Dry hoppy flavor and overall an easy going well tasting brew. Brett i didnt detect...
