Draught@Koulu
Special brewed to celebrate the Turku - The European Capital of Culture 2011. Aura was THE beer brand of Turku, before Hartwall (now Heineken) slaughtered brewery there. This beer is a collaboration of Koulu and Hartwall brewmasters.
This beer has clear, golden color, decent white creamy head. Light sweetish, wort-like aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Sweetish, typical brewpub worty flavors. Finish has nice hoppyness and long malty aftertaste. Saaz is evident there. Ok Czech/Bavarian style pils, probably quite good with salty and greasy food. Nothing to do with Hartwall’s Aura of course.
