(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of tbone_. Pours a clear, amber golden with a tall and handsome, off-white head leaving laces. Aroma of fruit and caramel. Slightly thin body with vague notes of caramel and some fruity vitamin touches. Almost no bitterness. Surprisingly bland compared to other Huvilas. 270707

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is bread, big fruity hops and some zest. Flavour is zest, frutiy hops and some caramelmalts. Some breadish hints also there. Not very much Christmas in it, but otherwise it’s a very good quality bitter.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear ruby, small head. Unusual strawberry aroma. Fairly sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel and light-medium body. Doughy malt, hay and dark cherries domintes. Finishes with average bitterness. Quality beer, as expected from Huvila.

Bottled (bought from K-Extra Oliivi, Lauttasaari, Helsinki) (BB 04/2007)
This is a Christmas brew from the micro brewery of Savonlinna. Name means "Good Thomas". Thomas is celebrated every year the 21st of December and it is said that "Christmas arrives with Good Thomas". Red ruby color, nice creamy off-white head and lace. Lightly hoppy and nutty aroma with hints of horse blanket. Medium-bodied with crisp carbonation in the beginning. Good nutty malty palate, mild citrusy English hops. Mild hoppy and malty aftertaste. Suprisingly full for being only 4.1%. No Christmas connection found ...
