Bottled@Kaisla (0,66 ltr). Clear golden color, steady creamy white head, some lace. Aroma has rye and light cat piss. Sweet rye-bready and hoppy flavor. Low bitterness, oily mouthfeel. Combination of Hoppe and Unearthy should be more interesting. Sweet....

(Bottled) Slightly hazy amber with a smallish, bubbly head. Aroma of berries, caramely malt, nutty-resiny aromatic hops. Flavor of caramely, sweetish malt, aromatic hops, not that much bitterness, some vegetables, quite well hidden alcohol. Medium body, soft carbonation. Didn’t find the original beers that interesting, so it’s no surprise, that their blend is not much better.

Medium, dense, cream-yellow head over clear pale copper beer. Superb cake-like nose with grapes, sultanas, freshly dried C-hops. Bitter hopcake, but with a strange finish, reminiscent of rotting leaves. Alcohol discreet but present. Ends with rosewater flavour. Certain syrupy slickness, despite that the beer is not really full-bodied. Aftertaste appears as a skeleton of the above flavours. The nose is really great, but then the beer leaves me really on my hunger for serious hop- and maltbite alike. I remain a bit underwhelmed.

(Bottle, 0.65 l, at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-06-18) Golden and clear. Small white head. Lot of hops and some alchol in aroma. Full bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, sweetness, lot of hops, grass, alcohol and bitterness in taste. Bitterness and hops in aftertaste. Unearthly and Hoppe are better than this mixture of those two.

Dark autumn orange colour. Fantastically balanced fruity and hoppy smell. Initially soft in taste with a sudden burst of bitterness that lasts. Love it.
