750ml bottle (One Pint Pub, Helsinki)
6 Slightly dusty aroma, very fruity, and quite sweet, slightly . Some melon and peach.
3 clear orange, but looks as if it’s slightly misty, brief large head.
7 Estery retronasals, very complex and hard to describe. Lovely fruity taste, plenty of toffee malts.
4 Initially a fruity finish, perhaps a little watery particularly with a little yeast from the bottom of the bottle. Late finish, however is beatifully hoppy. Really full whole hop leaves. Some noble hop, can’t identify quite which.
14 I was a little shocked at the 22e price, and at that price it’s too expensive. However, it’s a lovely ale, so complex, and the hops in the finish is great.

Bottled@One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Orange colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, malty, yeasty as well as mildly earthy. Flavour is fruity, sweet malty, mildly herbal as well as some spicy and yeasty notes. Pleasant.
