UPDATED: SEP 10, 2021 0,33l bottle from Alko Stella, Mikkeli, enjoyed @ Tahvonsaari. Pours clear golden with a medium head. Aroma is sweet malts, alcohol. Flavor is sweet malts, alcohol, fruits, hops. Nice.

UPDATED: AUG 20, 2021 (Bottle, 0.355 l - bottled on 17.04.2021, from Alko, 20210820) The beer poured pale amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, fruitiness, alcohols, sweetness and malts. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were pine, fruitiness, grass, malts, alcohols and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, malty, boozy and bitter. A nice hoppy brew that hid its high ABV rather well.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2021 Bärnstensfärgad både i utseende och doft. Arom av mustig karamellmalt, citrus, en aning tropik och barrskog, i lagom balans. Helt sanslöst smakintensiv. Kraftig söt karamellmalt går över i bäska som blir allt mer intensiv. Fantastiskt bra.

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2021 Bottle. Golden, average and mostly lasting head. Moderate to full, malty and lightly sweetish - sweetish aroma with light caramel, light - some tropical fruitiness, lots of grapefruit/citrus hoppyness, faint alcohol. Body is medium to full, malty and lightly sweetish -sweetish flavor, light caramel, light - some tropical fruitiness, grapefruit/citrus hoppyness, light alcohol. Finish is average to long, malty and lightly sweetish - sweetish, light caramel and light - some tropical fruitiness, lots of citrus/grapefruit hoppyness, light alcohol. Well hopped IIPA(TIPA) - not too sweet/not too much caramel - 11% not dominating in the palate. Nice one.

UPDATED: JUL 25, 2021 Light amber color under white mixture of fine and medium bubble head. Cloudy and an imperceptible active effervescence. Healthy lacing. They say it is very hoppy so that explains the fresh scents on the nose. Mouthfeel is super bitter right from the get go. If you like IPA - then dead on here. With the different botanicals going in the hop varieties - one can only guess. And the tastes, likewise. Because of the very high ABV 11%, this makes up for any aftertastes (which there are) on the finish. Kinda takes any kind of pains(s) away.
