| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Draught @ SOPP, Helsinki. Clear golden, tiny firm white head. Nose has grain, metal, dullness, little honey, slight Kievari-notes or is it just the birch? Flavor is lame as hell, dryish malts, little bad woodiness, honey, lots of cardboard. Strong soft carbonation, not too watery body. Maybe everything that’s original and Finnish just does not work in a beer? SaintMatty (1236), Tallinn, Estonia

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 13, 2009 500ml bottle (Eat&Joy)
Rich orange, decent head. Herby, grassy aroma. Crisp palate, pleasant
carbonation. Sweet fruity syrupy retronasals, that’s presumably the
birch - though they don’t really fit in with the beeriness. Fairly
simple clean taste. Simply slightly husky grainy malts, barky
hoppiness heading towards a touch of liquorice. Some simple grassy
finish. Pretty drinkable drink, good thirst quencher, but definitely
quite curious. Good effort, interesting brew.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 12, 2009 Bottle 0,5 l. Basic lagery looks, small white head. Nose has faint birch, mainly dryish pilsner maltiness and some hops. Flavor is basically a nice pils with decent bitterness which turns to subtle birchiness in the end. Somewhat harsh in the bitterness, but not necessarily a bad thing. Miksu (2231), Jyväskylä, Finland
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 6, 2009 0.5 l bottle, thanks hanniku! Golden color. Malty, grainy, flowery and grassy aroma with notes of corn. Malty, honeiysh flavor with herbal-woody finish. Slightly woody and tea like palate. There is delicate but obvious grassy-flowery-herbal twist which I guess come from birch. Integeresting experiment!
