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.

Die Optik zeigt sich sehr trüb und dunkelbernsteinfarben bis leicht kupfer. Die weiße Schaumkrone fällt leider rasch auf wenige Millimeter in sich zusammen. Die Duftaromatik wirkt fast schwer. Süßlich-herb, karamellig und kräuterlastig mit einem leicht fruchtigen Touch von überreifer Orange, Mandarine oder Pomelo. Der Antrunk kommt angenehm spritzig und breit karamellig und fruchtig, aber auch deutlich herb. Am Gaumen dominieren vor allem die herben Hopfennoten, welche aber auch die karamellig-malzigen, sowie die reiffruchtigen Noten (v.a. Orange und Mandarine) zulassen. So entsteht ein durchaus voller Körper mit vielfältiger Aromatik. Auch wenn die Hopfenherbe vielleicht etwas zu ausgeprägt erscheint, darf und muss man von einem guten Bier reden. Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit sind durchaus gut - dieses Bier macht Spaß! Im Nachtrunk wirkt die Malzaromatik gut nach. Das Grande Finale macht selbstverständlich eine fruchtige Herbe, welche letztendlich in eine grasige bis kräuterartige, leicht trockene Herbe mündet.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, nutty, some spruce and a bit herbal tones. Flavour is somewhat sour rosehip, some tealeafs and mild hibiscus tea as well. Nicely dry palate, but still sweet enough to make it highly enjoyable and refreshing.
