Glowing amber, bready nose. Bittersweet, rich malt, pepper, lemon, mint. Summer light, but beware of the well hidden alcohol!

50 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Pours clear golden color with small head. Aroma of nettle, grassy hops, fruits and some floral notes. Flavour of fruits, caramel and dry hay. Crisp and refreshing. Nice.

Pours an amber colour with a white head. Aroma of American hops and some caramel. Flavour of caramel malts, American hops, flowers, biscuit and nuts. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a malty, bitter and slightly dry finish. Good.

50 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 15.04.2013
Aroma is fruity with some hay and peach. Also some sweet toffee. Flavour is somewhat hoppy with peach, some apricot, toffee and hints of hay. Somewhere between British and American, but closer to American anyway.

Bottled 500ml (Tuulensuu, BB 04/2013)
Slightly hazy amber color, small steady beige head. Fruity, berryish aroma, grainy?, nutty notes. Medium-bodied. Nutty, hoppy flavor. Some salty notes in finish. Yes, American style but really English kind of beer.

Bottle. Pours dark amber with little white head. Not your typical American ipa aroma, green apples, white grapes and lime. Similar taste with a strong toffee malt flavor. Decent bitter finish. Not bad but not really what I’m looking for in an ’american ipa’

Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, light fruitiness and some caramel, some grassy - citrus hoppyness. Fruity and caramel sweetish IPA. 6,8% together makes the finish little drier.

Bottled, 500ml from The Adnams Brewery Shop, Southwold, Suffolk. Hazy amber with white head. The malted body is a touch heavier than expected for an American style IPA, there is a toffee, caramel flavour, quite thick, this carries a pine like, spruce hop flavour, twangy with a fruity satsuma note. Reasonable enough, but it could have been hoppier for me.

(Bottle, 0.5 l, at William K Kurvi, 20120306) The beer poured deep amber and a bit hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, fruitiness, toffee, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty, sweet and bitter. A British bitter with higher ABV and American hops. Not anything special, unfortunately.

Clear copper colour with small light tan head. American style hops in aroma. Fruit, pine and caramel sweetness. Malt too. Flavour is well balanced between caramel malt and moderately bitter hoppiness. Nice IPA.
