Bottle. Some nice tropical fruit notes come through from the hops. Fairly aromatic and floral hop qualities. Malts are a bit cooky-ish. Overall not bad, but perhaps finishes a bit short on the tongue.

madmitch76 (6312) - , Essex, ENGLAND - NOV 14, 2009
22nd May 2008. Light bitter that is quite hoppy (but nothing like a US IPA). Slightly watery palate. Not too bitter. Enjoyed this best when very cold.

lada66 (44) - Savonlinna, FINLAND - MAY 26, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 27, 2008 An excellent bitter. One of the best bottled bitters brewed by Huvila ( or any other finnish brewery ). Not available anymore. Used to be on tap in Huvila.

raymondwave (931) - FINLAND - JAN 22, 2008
Bottle 0.5 l. Hazy light brown, smallish lacy head. Lot’s of fresh fruity hops on the nose. Initially poured too cold and started out just bitter with a bit thinnish feel. After warming up, bitterness was cut with very nice sweetish malty and yeasty body. Very nice unfiltered taste. One of the best – if not the best – finnish beers available in bottle. Altho pretty expensive.

Pretty much like the others say. Nice bitter, fruity and malty.
Too much to add, too little to say :)

thebeertourist (4060) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 12, 2008
Bottle. Hazy golden with a huge offwhite head. Fruity hop aroma, berries in particular. Malty flavours, notes of biscuit as well as of berries. Medium body. A brilliant bitter.

JorisPPattyn (6746) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - SEP 10, 2007
Draught Hazy copper colour with greenish shine; small white head, stable & lacy. Hops, dry, but with a little cheesy streak. Stale cookies, dry berries. Dry old hops taste, cheesy, long-flowing hops aftertaste. Medium bodied, lots of grist slickness. Despite some lower marks, overall it is not a bad beer; but the hops tasted too old.

bierkoning (8109) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - AUG 29, 2007
Bottle from Tbone_. Blonde colored , with a glimmer of orange, hazy. Grapefruit and cream in the aroma. Grapefruit and hops in the flavor. A soft floral bitterness. Somewhat earthy bitter aftertaste. Delicious, well made beer.

FatPhil (6213) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JUL 30, 2007
Draught (SOPP2007, Helsinki) Honey and flowers - nice bitterness. I imagine this is a great session beer as the bitterness is very will balanced
