liinis (506), Finland Oct 31, 2008 amber clear colored, small off-white head. Lovely hops and bitterness. some malts, but the balance favors the hops. delicious. janir (201), Oulu, Finland Oct 31, 2008 Clear reddish orange, amber color with lacy and cloudy off-white head. Citric, slightly caramely aroma with very dominant aromatic, quite like American-style hoppiness. Toffy malty flavor with very grassy hoppiness and very dry and bitter aftertaste. Medium-bodied and quite low carbonated palate. Not bad but somehow too simple and hoppiness is too dominant and in a sense alone making the beer. Papsoe (11073), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 31, 2008 (On tap) Clear amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Citrusy hops in the nose. Medium body with plenty of fruit and an astringent, dry, citrusy bitterness. 120908 Archibaldo de la Cruz (174), Finland Oct 30, 2008 Bottle. Amber colour with a small lasting off-white head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy. The flavour is malty, fruity and hoppy with some sweetness. Medium-bodied, long bitter aftertaste. Quite nice and tasty brew. mikkopen (139), Oulu, Finland Oct 29, 2008 500 ml bottle. Clear amber-orange colour, thin but lasting head that leaves some lacing. Very nice aroma of floral hops and citrus fruits, some caramel as well. The flavour is malty at first, but the maltiness is quickly overcome by rather strong and lasting dry hoppiness. It’s a pity I only bought one bottle, I could drink another one right away.
