Draught (Teerenpeli, Helsinki) - Amber/dark golden. Malty aroma with hints of dried fruit and caramel. Slightly tangy taste with grapefruit, caramel, dried fruit and a lingering bitterness.

Draught at Teerenpeli, Turku. Clear amber, tiny pale head with solid lacing. Slightly raisiny, bready aroma with little nuttiness. Flavor has fresh herbal hops & bitterness, little mandarin orange and grass, pale maltiness, some earth but still very clean. Surprisingly tasty, more than decent session brew.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear golden, rocky head. Fruity ashy nose. Sweetish with clean hard mouthfeel and light-medium body. Salty, fruity and ashy, think Anchor Steam, but a simple sketch thereof. Salty bitterish finish.

Draught@SBWF 2009. Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grassy, floral hoppy as well as bready malts. Flavour is is quite much the same, but also has some strange rubbery/metallic notes to it.

Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival 2009. Golden color, white head. Malty bready aroma with some mash notes. Hoppy, grassy flavor with metallic notes.

(Draught@Sadonkorjuu, Porvoo) A bit strangely herby aroma with slightly sour maltiness and caramel. Pretty hoppy for the brewery - herby-grassy and very pils-like. Medium body, soft carbonation. A strange bitter/pils -hybrid, but have to give credit to Teerenpeli for the amount of hops.

Draught at SOPP 2009, Helsinki. Bright copper color. The aromas of pilsner malt, toffee, corn and fruity-perfumed hops. Bitter, biscuity and toffeish flavor with fruity esters, fruity-lemony english hops, some caramel and some pilsner malt. Slightly astringent malt husk finish. OK.

(Draught at SOPP’09) Golden and clear. Medium sized and white head. Grassy aroma. Dry and light palate with medium carbonation. Grass, malts and bitterness in taste. Grassy aftertaste.
