Bottle at GLO Hotel, Helsinki. Bought at Stockmans. Cleae golden - white head. Nice hoppy. Nice fruity. Light nelson. Caramel notes. Grassy. Amber malts. Nice pleasant bitterness. Nice freshness.

Bottle, at Nærbø Ølfestival. It pours a lighlty unclear, golden body under a small, off-white head. The aroma has grains as a foundation for the citrus peel and pine cone scents from the hops. Pale malts, citrus peel, pine cones and a decent bitterness in the flavor. A bit thin on the palate, but far from watery, quite dry. Some bitterness in the end. A refreshing beer, but I’d prefer it beefed up a little bit. 111022

Bottled (from K-Market Kamppi, BB 27/10)
Actual rating #7000.
Clear orange color, small white head, some lace. Strong tasty Nelson Sauvin nose: tropical fruits like kiwi and passion fruit and then black currant. Medium-bodied. Pale malty with fruity and resiny Nelson Sauvin bitterness, which is stronger in the aftertaste. Nicely balanced session beer, not too but enough hoppy! Very ale-like lager.

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Golden color. Malt, peach and red berries in the aroma. Malty yet firm, alsmost oily hopbitter flavor with melon, red berreis and peach. Long hopbitter finish with a hint of plastic. Nelson Sauvin hops made their message clear.
