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.

Bottle. Coppery red colour with a mediumsized foamy pinkish head. Aroma is raspberries, forest strawberries and some mild tart tones. Flavour is raspberries, mild yeasty tones with some wooden tones too. Quite smooth, and enough sour to make it a bit dry too.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal luppolo. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas e arancia amara.

33 cl bottle @ home. Batch #388, BBE 13.03.2025 Aroma has strong vanilla tones and some fruitiness. Also licorice and baking stuff. Flavour has vanilla, some odd chili vibes, liquor and cinnamon. Also coffee. Ununusual and odd, perhaps a bit out of balance but somewhat enjoyable.
