Jan 21, 2008 500ml bottle (Kolme Kaisaa, Helsinki)<bt>
Mid orange, alas poured with a bit of yeast so was quite hazy. Slightly sour fruity aroma, maybe wild strawberry. Alas a bit yeasty, but a good full bodied bitter taste. There’s a bit too much sour taste, maybe from the yeast? Finish is dense, some bitterness from burnt malt, almost like an espresso. Not as good as the old Eldridge Pope beer of the same name.

Jan 18, 2008 [1011-20071229] 500mL (w/ jerc). Smells like grainy poo. Cloudy, dark brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head and nice lacing. Bitter grainy malt flavour. Medium body is fairly smooth. Disgusting aroma.

Jan 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange-amber with a large mostly-lasting fluffy off-white head. Very mild aroma and flavour of light caramel malt, fruit, faint hops with a touch of funkyness. A bit of sourness in the flavour as well and an average bitter finish. Average bodied. I was expecting more from this beer, I thought it was just O.K.

Jan 2, 2008 Very nice and very easy drinking.
Dark red/orange. Aroma included some apples and some sweet malt. Nice hoppiness and mild residual bitterness.
It disappeared really fast. A good sign indeed.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy amber/orange. Refreshing, hop aromas with accents of pineapple and melon. Somewhat fruity flavour and pleasant-but-average palate creates a nice experience but needs more malt and depth to take things to the next level.

Jan 2, 2008 Amber colour with a generous, rocky head. It is malty and slightly grapefruity bitterness. Very pleasant beer.
