Description
HIISI was founded in 2013, to fill a rather selfish need; We want to brew beers that we’d like to drink ourselves. Even if we do this for a living now, we still consider ourselves hobbyists of beer – it’s the flavor and meaningfulness of the beer that counts. We believe that, instead of just a beverage and means of intoxication, beer is an experience. Beer should be aromatic, nuanced and balanced, multi-sensory by nature. In addition to brewing great beer, we want to enjoy ourselves. We are here to develop interesting concepts with interesting people. We enjoy translating Finnish mythology and its lesser-known aspects into beers with character. We look for new ingredients and processes to continuously improve our craft and knowhow. We study, we try. We make our own. We will not educate others on the importance of rules, as we often do not follow them ourselves. We don’t concern ourselves with the reinheitsgebot, and we do not consider ourselves to be above any style of beer. That’s HIISI. Beer, against boredom.

(Keg at Harry's, 20260520) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had toasted malts toffee and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were earth, toffee, toasted malts and soft bitterness. Aftertaste had toasted malts, toffee and bitterness. A nice malty brew with long lasting finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque reddish brown with a small, rough, off-white head. Tart aroma of acetobacter, Brett and cherries - quite complex. Solid body, sweet notes of noble rot and cherries and quite some balsamico - and then the underlying tartness sets in. Quite lovely and very complex. Enjoyable in small quantities. 210426

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear, nutty brown with hardly any head at all. Vinous, balsamico aroma with distinct acetobacter. Medium body, completely flat. Sweet, noble rot, distinct vanillaish oak. Slight tartness. Interesting. 080426

Smell of coffee, cocoa. Dark brown colour, high light brown head. Aroma of cacao, vanilla, ashtray, some spices. Stinging bitter flavour. Lively carbon. Odd.

330ml bottle, L454, bought at Alko, Kilpis. Spotty lacing from a bubbly, beige head over a dark brown body. Roasted dark malty aromas, mid-sweet, inviting. Fine blended dark malt-driven taste with moments of earthy, black chocolate added by a coffee touch, and some ripe fruits in the back. Nicely roasted malty ending, semi sweet. Medium bodied. Like it. (Tromsø, 05.04.2025).
