2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 FatPhil (7597) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUL 31, 2012
Tap (SOPP2012, Turku)
Massively sweet karpalo aroma, the malts come over as cakey more than bready. Smooth palate, pleasant carbonation. Taste follows the aroma closely, it’s sweet and fruitcakey. Not so beery, but maybe a good introduction to craft beer for someone scared of its rawer side. Well crafted, but just not pushing my buttons at all. I have to rate hedonistically, and I don’t go for this.
