(Draught at Villi Wäinö, 20111006) The beer poured reddish orange and quite cloudy. Its heas was medium sized and white. Aroma consisted of a mixture of hops, fruitiness, pine and herbalness, and combination of malts and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied and a bit dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were hops, pine, fruitiness, herbs, malts, sweetness, caramell and quite strong bitterness. Finished bitter with malty notes. Nice and quite balanced beer but a bit musty.

Tap (Villi Waino, Helsinki)
Slightly hazy orange, large tight keggy head. Big hop aroma, a touch fruity and citrussy, but some stodginess too. Taste follows closely, even more hops, bitter and biting, too. Slight porridgy malt profile makes it less crisp than the hops could deliver. If Markku toned down everything, this would be a far better beer, is seems as if everything has been cranked up in order to cover weaknesses in other components. Still, a tasty one, but not one I’d drink in quantity.

acidy finnish hoppy beer with earwax aftertaste. hoppy sweet nose. Basic finnish beer maltiness and carbons ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught @Villi Wäinö 8.10.2011. Poured murky orange with a dense white head. Aroma is nicely fruity hoppy. Flavor on the other hand is disappointing, not much coming through, although very bitter. Malty, with some fruity notes, but overall felt unbalanced. Thick, oily, heavy.

Draft at Ville Waino, golden orange pour, mild aroma, corn??, nice flavor, citrus hops, decent bitterness, immediate bitterness on the palate, followed by more long drawn out bitterness. Nice flavor, pretty good IPa

Draught @ Villi Wäinö, Helsinki

Pours dark orange with a medium sized foamy and sticky finish. Aroma has notes of piney hops, grass and malts. Taste is quite fruity and slightly sweet with malty notes. Finish is quite smooth and slightly bitter. Okay, but a bit unbalanced IPA, could’ve used more hops and bitterness.
