Jun 23, 2009 Thick-hazed, honey/bronze in color under a thin, whitish head. This has aged a while, but the nose still finds plenty of resiny, piney hops along with lemon, grapefruit and instant tea. Hops are a little more tame in the flavor, but all the aromatic elements can still be tasted and there is a bit of a citric/peppery bite at the end. Surprisingly creamy mouthfeel. Overall refreshing. ~~~~~~~~~~ 12 oz. bottle from Cornfield quite some time ago.

Jun 15, 2009 Updated: Jun 25, 2009Had this on tap (cask pour) at the Iron Barley in St. Louis. Delightfully creamy and rich, lots of floral hop flavor in the finish. Had this on tap elsewhere as well and it wasn’t nearly as good, but on cask at the I.B. it was an excellent beer.

Jun 11, 2009 Draught@HBF’09. Slightly cloudy amber color, white head. Huge piny hop aroma. Bitter, resiny flavor with some grapefruit. Sticky mouthfeel, fairly dry finish. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Bit too heavy for my taste.

Jun 8, 2009 Sampled from a 12-oz bottle during Dark Lord Day ’09 at table 3. Pours a semi-hazy copper colored brew with an nice sized off-white head that slowly dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of caramel malt with grapefruit and citrus character with a touch of lemon and herbs. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of grapefruit, citrus zest, a hint of front lawn and a touch of caramel. Finish is semi-sweet, a nice bitterness with a lingering grapefruit and grassy hop aftertaste.

May 29, 2009 Draught (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Amber in colour. Soapy and hoppy aroma with peace and grapefruit. Hoppy taste with grapefruit and a pleasant bitterness. Not too overwhelming and rather nice.

Miksu (2194), Jyväskylä, Finland
May 23, 2009 0.35 l bottle at Helsinki Beer Festival 2009. Amber color with creamy head. Sweetish aroma with floral and tropical fruity hops, mango and toffee. Floral, lemony and sweaty hops and biscuity malt in the flavor. Not particularly bitter. Hop character has maybe lost some of its freshness.
