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.

330ml bottle, beer gift from Hanniku, via KnutAlbert, many thanks to both of them. Tight, rocky, off-white covering. Short duration, spotty lacing to the glass. Deep rosewood coloured body. Roasted malts on the nose with hints of liquorice. Comprehensive taste character of dark malts with hints of earth, chocolate and liquorice. Mild roasted malty closure. Soft carbonated. A little thin in the mouth, otherwise rather nice (shared with Finn at a rating session in Tromsø, 24.04.2014).

Flaske 0,33l påspandrert av Rune og delt under rateseanse i WCveien 24 Apr 14. Saktekrypende gusher! Ultradyprød/svart. Høyt betongskum. Mye lacing. Bra aroma av malt. Innslag av frukt. Smaken har preg av bær & karamell. Blir litt for søt.

Flaske 0,33l fra Alko Muonio. Drukket i Skibotn 15 Apr 14. Svart. Veldig høytbyggende mokkafarget skum som varer lenge. Luftig & kremaktig med mye lacing. Forsiktig kaffearoma. Smaken er metallisk. Hint av sjokolade & kaffe. Avslutninga er lakris. Bra - men mangler variasjon & fylde

330ml bottle, beer gift from Finn, many thanks. Oily pour revealing a jet black body under a creamy, bubbly, tan-coloured head with a solid stand and fair lacework. Pleasant aromas of red orange, liquorice and dark chocolate with the support of mild smoked malts. Balanced taste profile of earthy chocolate malts, orange peels and, again, a nice resonance of smoked malts. Roasted malt-fruity ending. Medium plus bodied. Pleasant, well-made brew (Tromsø 17.04.2014).

Bottled@HBF2014. Hazy goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized fluffy head. Aroma is fruits, wood some herbal notes along with some wheat and bread. Flavour is zesty, some herbs, wheat and mild bready notes. Balanced and quite refreshing, but still lacks the interesting aspects. Easy to forget.

Draught@HBF2014. Hazy orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, big time nectary along with some bready and sweet malty notes. Flavour is very similar in a nice balance, a bit alcohol is showing up balancing the bitterness out a bit too. Good DIPA.
