ABV: 5.0% IBU: 35 Ticks: 12
Wet Hop Lager 5% vol (Most, Magnum)

A crisp and pale lager brewed with hundreds of kilograms of harvest fresh whole cone Most hops from Czech Republic.

Appearance: A clear golden-yellow beer with a large, thick, and long-lasting white head, staying on the beer for quite a while. Swirling the beer in the glass creates a dense lacing pattern on the glass walls.

Nose: The initial impression is freshly hoppy, as if you’ve put your nose straight into a hop bag. Fresh grassy, hay-like, slightly herbal, and citrusy aromas combine into a pleasant bouquet. If you look carefully, you might find hints of strawberry and mint in the background.

Taste: The initial taste is crisp and refreshing. The slightly bitter citrusy hop flavor is balanced by malty sweetness. The aftertaste is long and lingering, with a slightly mineral finish.

440 ml can, as Põhjala Värske Wet Hop Lager, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Nearly clear golden colour, moderate white head. Strong and pleasant aroma of Czech hops, with grassy, floral and herbal notes, pilsener malts in the background. The flavour is distinctly hoppy throughout, on a sufficient malt base. Sharpish bittering hops in the finish.

440ml can kindly shared by Finn. Covering white head, misty gold-yellowish body, rich lacing. Moderate aromas of herbal hops and grain on the nose. Balanced malt-fruity flavours, a bite of grainy malts, grass, and dusty hops. Prolonged finish. Okay partner to our sushi. (Tromsø, 24.03.2025).

Can at Goblet ZG. Clear golden body, off-white, thick head. Tart stone fruit, lightly tropical, in the aroma, mild petrol, ah Most... Lean, dry taste, the same mix of lovely stone fruit and maybe some tropical with that vague touch of petrol. Bitterish, bit funky in the finish. Such a weird, fascinating hop, the base body showcasing it but being too light to help it out. Hm. Goes from nice to decent to blergh as it warms... No.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

44cl can from Selver, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a white head. Malty and hoppy with grassy and somewhat herbal notes. Moderate sweet with fairly low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Crisp, refreshing and sessionable - quite enjoayble.
