 larsga (2132), Oslo, Norway
Jun 23, 2008 Medium white head. Light amber body with carbonation. Powerful resiny fruity aroma with floral citric notes and some dusty malts. Sharp dry-sweet floral dusty hops taste with an acidic vinegary aftertaste. Acid is mild, but definitely there. Probably a good beer without this. (0.25l draft at Olutkellari, Helsinki. Bartender admits to vinegary flavour, but says all their 10 casks have had it. Offered to give me another beer for free. Have to rerate this to see if I can find it without vinegar.)

May 22, 2008 Draught (Olutkellari, Helsinki) - Amber/copper coloured with a small head. Grapefruit aroma with a pleasant hoppiness. Tangy and zesty taste with grapefruit and just a hint of chocolate featuring. Enjoyable.
Tranquillity (1029), Espoo, Finland
Apr 17, 2008 Draught. Hazy orange, looks like a geuze. Tiny white head. Very fruity aroma, cucumber. Taste a bit weak. The bitterness doesn’t fit it, a bit unbalanced. But it has a good amount of fruitiness.
tlind2 (208), Helsinki, Finland
Apr 9, 2008 Draught @ Kaisla, Helsinki, 2006. A reasonable rendition of the APA style, slightly reminiscent of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Clean, distinguishable hops in both aroma and taste.
Miksu (1244), Jyväskylä, Finland
Dec 30, 2007 Draught at Vihreä Haltiatar, Jyväskylä. Amber color. Citrusy and piney hops in the aroma as well as lactic acid. Malty and bitter flavor with honey, some caramel and some citrusy hops. Fruity bitter finish.
