Draught@Bruuveri
Slightly hazy yellow color, small steady white head. Banana, yeasty aroma with some metal hints. Light bodied. Sweet banana, candy, fruity flavor. Slightly tart. Way too watery hefeweizen. Of course this is made for Finnish grocery shop markets but 4.6% does not work with hefeweizens.

Aroma is roasted but a bit light with some chocolate. Flavour is slightly sweet with coffee and licorice. A bit light and somewhat boring.

Aroma is fruity and slightly sour with some earthy notes and citrus. Flavour is tart and somewhat acidic with citrus, wheat, some hay and earthy notes. Smells and tastes a lot like saison. Good and refreshing!

330ml bottle from Alko
Pours clear light orange with a tiny white head. Aroma of lemon, citrusy hops, butter and hay. Taste is quite malty with some notes of hay, grassy hops, butter, honey and metal. Finish is bitter and floral with notes of bready malts. A bit unbalanced IPA.

Malty, sweet, some alcohol, a bit grainy taste. Medium to full moouthfeel, low bitterness.AS for style perhaps I’d say closer to a bock, but doesn’t matter as I as always rate for my taste and not of style. Tasty!
