Less complex than many APA’s, but a very clean flavor, with a good bitter edge. An easy to drink APA. Love It!!

HBF09 Nice and simple but maybe too balanced as I like some edge in my beer. a bit flat too. Some butter and bitter. roasted nuts. mead-like and fresh.

Keg (HBF2009)
Nothing but tangerine in the aroma. Very simple APA - hoppy fruitiness. Yes, it’s a bit one-dimensional, but it’s pretty tasty. I think I could drink a fair amount of this before getting bored as the balance is pretty good.

Draught at Helsinki Beer Festival 2009. Copper color with creamy head. Lemony and piney hop aroma with toffee and hints of sulphur. Bittersweet flavor with thick lemony, grapefruit and piney hop character. Toffeish maltiness in the background. Some hop astringency in the mouthfeel which detracts from drinkability. Fairly tasty APA with some rough artisanal character.

(Draught at HBF2009) Amber and clear. Medium sized white head. Fresh pine aroma. Medium bodied, fresh and very dry palate with medium carbonation. Pine, sweetness, fruitiness, malts, lightly wood and bitterness in taste. Sweet and bitter aftertaste.

Draught@HBF2009. Clear amber color, good white cloudy head. Very fresh leafy, grass aroma. Odd watermelon notes with juicy hoppyness, crisp carbonation. Yeasty twist. Fresh and good.

Draught@HBF2009. Golden colour, big fluffy off white head. Aroma is bigtime fruits and somegrassy notes. Flavour is grassy hops, some grains, Mild notes of caramel malts. Balanced and mellow, yet a bit aggressive bitterness.

(Draught) Slightly hazy amber with a small head. Conifer-nutty-hoppy aroma with some fruitiness. Flavor of conifer, birch leaves, slightly stuffy maltiness. Medium body, slightly fizzy carbonation. Ok and easily drinkable, but not memorable.
