Draught@Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki. Cloudy amber color, firm off-white head. Tobacco and wood aroma. Fairly strong hop flavor with a malty background and some wood and nuts. Medium-full body, medium-high carbonation. Fairly complex, but a bit too heavy and somehow unexciting.

A bit of a guilty pleasure for me after repeated trips to Great Yarmouth 20 odd years ago and a hotel that had this on tap (and me on expenses). Hoppy, quite malty and fairly traditional in taste with an astringent aftertaste.
