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.

0.33 l bottle shared at the Pivoteka tasting table. Unclear amber, small head. Aroma is dried fruit at first. Ripe grapes, berries, cheery, sour fruit, some acidity, some malts. Oily, medium body, slightly sharp sourness. Some glue. Astringent, fruity, berries, red fruit, fruit skins. Some oak. Light dry finish. Light sourness. Not that it's not rich, but no real complexity.

Bottle on board M/S Viking Glory. Black with a small tan head. Bourbon, oak, dark fruit, chocolate. Really nice to find a beer like this on an autolautta to Suomi.

Dark brown colour, small beige head. Strong aroma has cocoa and vanilla, also light coffee and hops. Medium to full-bodied. Flavour has cocoa, vanilla, saccarine, light bitterness with a bit perfumic vibe probably from rose water. Dries to aftertaste. Ok.

(Keg at SOPP Helsinki 2024) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, floralness and grain. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, floralness, white bread, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Nice.
