What about the beer?
Colour is hazy golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma has lemon, grapefruit and bitter malts. Taste begins with fruity bitter malts. Bitter union of malts, grapefruit and citrus peel takes over with some sourness. Towards the end sweet orange-like citrus joins the flavours and the bitterness bites in strong. Aftertaste has striking citrus-peely bitterness with some malty fruits.

Tasty Pilsner that takes a step towards IPA with strong citrus presence. Beautifully hopped stuff. However, the malt is the driving force behind the taste. Excellent brew.

This beer was part of Alko's Finnish microbrewery craftbeer selection in spring 2017.

Crisp. Fresh. Rocking. Several options for the song. Happened to pick this one from the Tennessee-based family band.
