50 cl bottle. Amber and copper colors. Medium white head. Too much bitterness and hops for me. These two hides all the other flavors and leaves me waiting for more.

Braastad (118) - FINLAND - MAY 17, 2013
Darkish golden with lacing head. Aroma has very faint citrusy hops and starchy malts. Taste has bready malts, weird bitter hops and sugar. Not very well balanced.

Moebbels (35) - FINLAND - MAY 9, 2013
Nose is fresh and hoppy with notes of herbs and malts. Taste has a burst of bittery dryness leaving a long nice aftertaste. Carbonation is on the light side and mouthfeel is surprisingly full. A nice refreshing summer beer.

teddybeer (1484) - Madrid, SPAIN - APR 5, 2013
[Thanks to rosenbergh]. Canned. Golden colour with a white head, medium lasting. Aroma is malty, hoppy and grassy. Flavor is strong malty, with a decent bitterness. The final is slightly dry and bittery with an average duration.

Tide (715) - Espoo, FINLAND - MAR 8, 2013
Bottle from supermarket. Golden color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, toast, grass and hops. Very thin body with mostly hops. Dry bitter finish with toast. Decent brew, but lacks a lot of depth. Definitely not an IPA.

laiti (3934) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 15, 2013
50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 18.04.2009
Aroma is rather hoppy with hay, some fruity and dfloral notes. Flavour has hops, grapefruit, hay, some biscuits, fruits and distant floral notes. The hops feel a bit stinging and palate is somewhat watery. Not much of an IPA, more like overhopped golden ale or pale ale.

50cl can. Dry-hopped IPA with decent taste but little watery. Ok for a finnish market beer.
