2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 FatPhil (6207) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 22, 2009
750ml bottle (One Pint Pub, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009)
White raisin aroma, sharp, almost like a lambic in part, but also winey. Pine floor cleaner, and rubber. Taste is masses of rubber. Condom rubber, not black grommet rubber. Burps rubber. There’s more flavour with the yeast added, and thankfully less rubber, so do add plenty of yeast.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAR 14, 2009
(Bottled, 0.75l) Very hazy yellow-golden with a medium, quite firm, lasting and lacy head. Quite original aroma of sweetish, pale malt, anise and licorice, spices, lemony hops. Spicy and licoricey flavor with sweet, bready maltiness, orangey fruitiness, and flowery-lemony-aromatic hops. Medium body, soft carbonation, reasonably refreshing despite the sweetness. A quite original mix of spices, hops, and malt. Too sweet to be fully enjoyable, but probably good "for the ladies".
