Draught (Olutkellari, Helsinki)
Orange, tiny keggy head. Slightly farty aroma, sweaty crotch. Crisp carbonation. Sweet malts, some nettles, but the hops are also fruity. It’s trying to be interesting, and maybe to a hop ticker it is, but to me it’s just like a hundred other hoppy APA-style European beers. Just fruity hops. Did get some oregano in the finish.

Dark coppery colored with hazy appearance, little yellow head. Chocolaty aroma with thin hops only, some yeastiness also come up. Medium bodied. Flavor has some glue and burnt rubber in it, hops and thin berries also come up.

330 ml bottle. Finland. Batch #331. Hazy dark red colour with no head. Sweet fruity hoppiness in quite weak aroma. Malty flavour with some bitter fruity hoppiness. It’s almost like rosehip soup. Very thick and sticky. Low carbonation, almost slightly watery. I guess this ain’t my cup of tea.

(Draught at Olutkellari Helsinki on 2009-10-08) Amber and hazy. Medium sized, dense and white head. Hops, nettles and resin in aroma. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Resin, malts, nettles, lightly fruitiness and bitterness in taste. Malts, resin and bitterness in aftertaste.
