RB#4444: 22 fl oz bottle. Pours deep amber/hazzlenut brown with a slight tan to orange head. Aroma mild fruity with faint notes of wheat - certainly towards a weizenbock-like aroma with dry woody and grapefruity hops notes. Full bodied mouthfeel and smooth - again much like a weizen bock. Faint fruity notes from the wheat but more over solid hoppy with a solid bitterness and dryness into the finish. Wellbrewed no doubt, just not amongst the most thrilling 3F nor Mikkeller

Jul 17, 2008 The beer is copper with a beige head which disapears very fast. The aroma is malt at first but also hoppy and you can also smell some alcohol. The flavor is hoppy, but in a strange way I felt it had a bit of fish flavor in it?? Also citrus?

Jul 17, 2008 (Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-07-16) Amber. Cloudy. Large and bit tan head. Hops, pine and alcohol in nose. Full, alcoholic and dry palate. Pine, hops, alchohol and malts in taste. Lighltly salty liquorice. With good imagination some banana aromas could perhaps be found, too. At the beginning, the hops felt quite harsh but the taste developed into quite soft and balanced one.

Poured a lovely red/amber colour. Soft, pungent aroma hops in the nose. Lovely, pungent flowery, sweet maltiness with nice aroma hops. A great beer as could be expected from this collaboration.

Jul 13, 2008 Jewel like amber colored beer with a yellowish beige head. High alcohol content in the nose with piney hops and a candi sugar sweetness. Flavors of puffed wheat, apricot jam, sharp piney hops and lots of hairspray alcohol. There is a long, pinching bitterness in the finish. The beer was really hot. Big all the way around. Thanks to bdigi66 for sharing.
