What about the beer?
Colour is clear light yellow with a large white head. Aroma has grapefruit, mango and pineapple. Taste starts with gently bitter citrus peel. Grapefruit juice with gentle bitterness takes over. Towards the end slightly sweet lemonade flavour takes over, otherwise it gets a little thin. Aftertaste is mildly citrusy bitter and sweet.

Citrus dominated Session IPA. Better than expected - easily drinkable, fresh summer beer. No challenge but not much else than citrus juice. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it's nice to another new brewery in Pori.

Just tried to pick a light summer song that doesn't disturb nor get the party started. Fits in the picture, since Jamiroquai visited Pori Jazz festival this summer.

From the 2005 album Dynamite, the song was written by Jay Kay and Matt Johnson.
