An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a corn sourness lying in the background. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of oranges and a dry end.

Bottled (from Alko Arkadia). Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is grains, fruits, sweet malts as well as some hone and hay. Flavour is being quite similar in a good balance. Actually comes out clean and very refreshing. High drinkability, even though it’s not the most exciting beer around.

Orange, hazy. Lively, dry and very bitter.

Pale ale, nice head. Light but fruity aroma. Ordinary body and palate, with enough hop character.

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, fruits, citrus and hops.
