The bottle was sent to me by Strykzone in a trade Pours cloudy gold with a good robust foamy white head and good lacing rings. Nose of fruit and yeast with spices. Medium in body with a lively and pleasant mouthfeel. The flavor is full of ripe fruit and the finish is slightly sour. Very tasty and nice to drink..

laiti (1681) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUL 18, 2011
33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, thanks Hanniku!
Fresh, soapy aroma has lot of citrus and hints of grain. Flavour has loads of citrus and it has some harsh bitterness. A decent and drinkable one, but would not buy again.

nuplastikk (2615) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 20, 2011
Draft at Jacs. Creamy, thick, unfiltered golden yellow. Big foamy white head, lots of lace. Creamy and light, quite drinkable. Sort of like a good yeasty Wit with a quality hop addition. Soapy, dry and bitter. Somewhat Saisonish as well. Hoppy, crisp and refreshing. Thick cream soda like yeast notes with orange peel and grass tones. Nice.
