3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 jookos (764) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 28, 2012
Draft 5p. Light amber, hazy. Hay, malts, fermented honey, esters on nose. Sour, and dry. The hay is there, dry malts, "näkkileipää". A bit bitter. And with stale, old, fruityness. Which i guess is appropriate for the style. Good palate cleanser if youre into the style.
