Sampled from a 12-oz bottle during Dark Lord Day ’09 at table 3. Pours a semi-hazy copper colored brew with an nice sized off-white head that slowly dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of caramel malt with grapefruit and citrus character with a touch of lemon and herbs. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of grapefruit, citrus zest, a hint of front lawn and a touch of caramel. Finish is semi-sweet, a nice bitterness with a lingering grapefruit and grassy hop aftertaste.

Draught (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Amber in colour. Soapy and hoppy aroma with peace and grapefruit. Hoppy taste with grapefruit and a pleasant bitterness. Not too overwhelming and rather nice.

pours a clear amber with a big foamy head. notes of caramel, grassy hops, pine, some citrus, sweet malts, and a little booze. Okay

courtesy of BA trade. Pours hazy copper, off white head. Aroma is hoppy floral with notes of caramel malts. Taste, hoppy with good caramel character. Finish is light with some sugary fruits with a light bitter finish.

0.35 l bottle at Helsinki Beer Festival 2009. Amber color with creamy head. Sweetish aroma with floral and tropical fruity hops, mango and toffee. Floral, lemony and sweaty hops and biscuity malt in the flavor. Not particularly bitter. Hop character has maybe lost some of its freshness.

OK IPA. Pours a cloudy copper with very thin wisps of head. The first pour aroma is almost sour - but the nose is grassy hops. Some juniper accents in there too. Another dry finishing IPA from the MW!

A bottle tasted at HBF 2009. Pinet nose. Pale beige head. Pale golden yellow colour. Soft hoppy taste. Good one.

(Bottle at HBF2009) Amber and clear. Small white head. Aroma of conifer forest - pine, spruce and juniper. Full boided and dry palate with medium carbonation. Pine, malts, resin, bitterness and fruitiness in taste. Malts and hops in aftertaste.
