Suomenlinna Brewery’s reddish lager (4.7% vol) is made of three grains, rye (Secale), wheat (Triticum) and barley (Hordeum), which initials are also in the name of this beer. Seth is a malty, strong-bodied lager, which ryeish body is refreshed with wheat and a mild bite of hops. The name of the beer is also closely linked with the history of Suomenlinna. Gabriel von Seth (1690-1774) was not only the fortress builder Ehrensvärd’s a good friend, also known as a contributor and gourmet. Bastion Seth still stands as part of Suomenlinna seafortress in the middle of a verdant herb garden.

50 cl bottle (4,7%) @ home, BBE 09/2013
Aroma is somewhat sweet with lots of grainy malt. Flavour is somewhat sweet and rather malty with grain and hints of nuts. Starchy feeling here. Quite bulky to be a microbrewery beer. And failed to pair with my salad with smoked salmon.

It seems that these rye lagers are still not my cup of tea.

Draughty (Suomenlinnan Panimo, Helsinki) - Dark golden in colour. Malty and slightly fruity aroma with hints of grain and dried apricot. Malty and grainy taste with a hint of dried fruit in the finish. Not bad.

(Draught at Villi Wäinö, Helsinki, 20110422) The beer poured golden and a little bit hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts and grass. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, grass, paper, tree leaves and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. I would have preferrer a crisper and grainier brew that what this one turned out to be.

Clear golden color, small off-white head. Wheatish-grainy aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweetish front. Some honey, grains, harsh ryeish notes. More like one time vanity than really pleasant. Three different grains used.
