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 HBF2014) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had berries, pine and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, malts, berries and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. The aroma was a bit displeasing because of the berriness but the taste was very nice.

330ml bottle @ HBF 2014

Pours orange with a small white head. Aroma of fruits, grass, crisp malts, hops and hay. Taste is smooth, carbonated and a bit stuffy with some hints of fruity hops, wheaty malts, yeast and grass. Finish is smooth and a bit watery with some fruity hoppiness. A bit light bodied, nice hop profile but could’ve used way more hops.

Pours dark orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of fruits, berries, caramely malts and sweet juicy notes. Taste is sweet, fruity and hoppy with some berries, caramely malts and citrus. Finish is hoppy and lingering bitter with some berries, sweet caramel and toffee. Pretty good, but a bit unbalanced, too much berries here.
