3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample @ HBF 2010. Originally rated on 10.4.2010. Okay, but quite generic pale ale with a bitter and hoppy taste.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught@Gastropub Nordic, Tampere. Goldeny amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and floral and also has some slight honeyish notes. Flavour is quite much the same with a pleasant malty body. Mild spruce and tropical fruit juice as well.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught@HBF 2010, sampled 2010-04-09) Hazy copper with a small head. Lots of exotic fruitiness in the nose with strawberry and a touch of stinginess. Dry and exotic-fruity flavor, no stinginess here, lots of woody bitterness considering the body. Almost medium body, slightly fizzy CO2. Quite crisply hoppy and drinkable, yet I prefer more fruity and full-bodied ones. Might deserve a re-rate with a bigger dose.

Draught (HBF2010)
6 Massive very raw hop aroma
3 Rich orange, small head
7 Huge citrussy hoppy taste, light slighty raw grainy backdrop
4 Finish has dry bitty grains and really citrussy hops
12 Nothing wrong with this, but the emphasis is too much towards the hops.

Draught (Helsinki Beer Festival 2010) - Shared with Doggythedog. Amber in colour. Slightly soapy aroma with notes grapefruit and pine. Hoppy and bitter taste with notes of grapefruit, peach and toffee. Crisp, hoppy and enjoyable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Helsinki Beer Festival. Copper color. Firm fruity, citrusy and grassy hop aroma with notes of tangerine. Sweetish flavor with tangerine hops with nutty biscuity malts on the background. Sweetness hangs around for a long time and feels not bitter enough, but finally bitterness hits in the finish. Smooth palate. Tasty and very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at HBF, courtesy of SaintMatty (thanks!). We shared most of our beers at HBF so I’m gonna stop writing this :D. Poured an amber-golden body with a thick white head. Distinctly lemony (think real lemonade) aromatic hopiness in the nose, quite nice! Nice balanced bitterish lemony aromatic hoppy taste. Light sweet maltiness. I liked this one more than most did I guess.
