Bottle. Clear amber with a big rocky head. Potent hop aroma with citrus and grass as well as some breadiness. Fruity hops flavours, with hints of peach, rather semi-dry throughout, light-bodied. Slightly harsh bitter finish. More like an ale than a lager. Original.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy amber colour with a thick, shaving foam like head making this an aesthetic pleasure. Flavourwise this comes very close to your typical British bitter - weird as it is bottom fermented. Malty and fruity with some wee touches of the wheat. Very far from a typical Pilsener. 200403

Aroma is sweetish like a blonde ale. Taste is lagerish but with a sourness, which is a bit wierd really.

Bottle. Pours clear amber colored with a small egg white head. Aromas of caramel and fruit. Slightly sour flavor with notes of grainy malt and citrus fruits.

500ml Bottle (Thanks to my lovely girlfriend Kristiina!) - Amber in colour with a small head. Malty aroma with some fruity and hoppy notes. It tastes slightly sterile at first but then you detect that it is malty and hoppy and rather well balanced with raisins being noticeable in a fruity and hoppy finish.
