zomba (192) - Nokia, FINLAND - NOV 3, 2012Can. Pours clear amber, little head. Very little of any kind of aroma. Same goes for taste. Low carbonation. At first quite nice, but in the end just dull.
MikeKeller (959) - Kemi, FINLAND - OCT 28, 2012Canned. Nikolai vuosiolut 2012 was actually a nice exception in the line of Sinebrychoff beers. It’s enjoyable with smooth, soft refreshing taste that had just about right amount of hops for the body making it well balanced brew.
Psytron (6698) - Turku, FINLAND - SEP 18, 2012Smell of malts, sugar, some honey. Amber colour, hazy, beige head. Sweet. Aroma of syrup, sugar and honey. Some flowers and faint trace of nuts. Medium sharp carbonation.
jackl (8677) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - AUG 17, 2012Bottle @ Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig. The pour’s deep gold with no head. The nose is grains, honey, some light orchard fruits. The taste is corn, some sweet cereal. The body’s clean and light. Boring, not particularly tasty.
swoopjones (7018) - Buffalo, New York, USA - AUG 6, 2012sample at Chriso’s Pre GBBF. light copper pour. light fruitiness in flavor, other than fruit little else going on. blah
kerolasa (409) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 21, 2012Looks like unfiltered beer, and smells like lager. Taste is lagery like as well. There is metallic aroma, without any interesting nuances. The usual mild hops, giving grass, and bit of malts are present. Nearly equivalent to any super market beer.
