Dark orange beer with a medium beige head. Wow a lot of cloudberries in the aroma when poured in a glass. With the sweetness and ripeness of fruits and berries it also has this bitter kind of aroma and yeast as well. The taste is a bit sour and bitter. Not too much sourness as I don’t like too sour beer but just greatly balanced. A hint of sweet caramel, toffee, grass, lingonberry. Medium body, dry. Good amount of carbonation. A very good beer from Stadin panimo.

Nice hazy amber/red color, one finger head is off-white ans quite short. Was in flu when rating but aroma is still ok strong, fruity fresh with pineapple, mango, papaija... very tropical, under this I found malting to be caramelly. Aroma is inviting and nuanced, good. Fizzy and bitter palate, flavor has also lots tropical fruits, grapefruit also, malting in bitter finish, medium body, light feel. I am pleasantly surprised. Best one I have had from this brewer, well done. And yeah..there is lots spices here like others have noted but I 1st missed: pepper, coriander, nutmeg?

A beautiful colour, cloudy, orange redbrown, medium and blond head. Aroma is quite complex and fresh, fruits with some tropical fruits, some sournwss and yeast, also lots of belgian spices. Inspirating and unique aroma. Taste of "belgian"fruits, lots of spices, citrusfruits, biscuity malts, hint of sourness. The aftertaste is quite dry and slightly herbal. Medium bodied, nice and quite high carbonation, fresh to drink as it should be. Very succesfully, complex and also unique Saison.

Hazy amber colour. Sweet aroma with flowers and grapefruit. Taste is sweet malty and bitter, full of citrus and some belgian yeast. Surprisingly heavy body and smooth palate. Enjoyable, easy and perfectly balanced hybrid of American hops and Belgian beer.

Bottle from Alko, Kemi. Hazy amber beer with a huge frothy head. Must be patient while pouring! Fruity and grassy hoppy aroma. Sourish flavour has citrus fruits and nice bitter ending. Refreshing!
