Medium-bodied with strong notes of bourbon, vaniila and coconut, almonds and apricots with undertones of orange-peels. Long medium-bitter finsih of almonds, apricots and wood.

(Draught@Pikkulintu) Ice-creamy, soft and peachy-fruity nose with evident brett notes. Flavor is pretty much the same with smooth fruit, brett, and some lagerish properties, too. Not very Belgian, but ok.

(Bottle) Pours golden with a small off-white head. Thai food notes up font in the aroma: lime, lemon grass, coconut milk and coriander alongside a bready and light toffee-ish malt foundation. Undertones of juniper, oak, vanilla ice cream, cotton candy and mint. Juicy hints of fruit salad also notable - pineapple, oranges, oxidized banana and tart, unripe mango. Sadly, a blanket of buttery, plastic and acetone-ish hints hides the subtle tones of the aroma. The flavour is light sweet, light to medium bitter and light tart sourish. Notes of juicy orange/lemon lemonade, bready/grainy malt, syrup, cotton candy light apricot, spices, grass and mild herbs. The mouthfeel is clean, a bit tad tart, light round and smooth carbonated. The finish holds green apples, grapefruit and earthy spices. Maybe a whisper of phenols. Medium bodied.

Bottle, 75cl - Clear orange beer with a large white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of caramel, ripe fruit, spices and oranges. Flavor is fruity with notes of pineapple, oats and winter oranges. Some hints of orange "whites". Not too bad.
