About
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.

Bottled@PBF IX. Hazy golden colour, not too much head. Aroma is mild acidic wood, yeast, some wood and mild herbal notes. Flavour is similar, but also has some strange sweetness to it. Somewhat messy.

Aroma is a bit musty with apricot. Flavour has apricot, some gooseberry bush leaves and hints of grapefruit. The hops feel a bit old but this is decent anyway.

33 cl bottle @ PBF Ⅸ, Batch #52, BBE 15.10.2014
Aroma is stale with soapy citrus and hints of bush leaves. Very foamy palate. Flavour has soapy citrus, some dough-like yeasty notes and hints of apricot. Refreshing, but foaminess ruins the show. This basically turns from liquid to foam on my tongue.
