3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 kalervo (464) - FINLAND - JUN 16, 2013
Quite good Finnish beer, could have had even more hops due to sweet malty body.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 mikkos (37) - FINLAND - JUN 14, 2013
Drank side by side with nögne two captains. This was good, yet lags behind on all aspects. As a finnish beer this is smething really different and well balanced, but compared to two captains, well... Sweet aroma of caramel, glue and alcohol. Balanced mouthfeel and a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Was expecting a bit more refreshing taste.
Good in general, as a finnish beer - excellent.

500 ml bottle. Slightly hazy dark amber colour, thin off-white head. Aroma of sweetish malt, citrus fruits and piney hops. The flavour is sweetish, caramel malty, with tropical fruits and an aromatic, piney hoppy finish. Very nice, one of the best beers VASP has made so far.
