Draught at the bruuvpub heh. Poured a lovely red body with a thick small white head that went away fast. Sweet soapy nose, maybe strawberry. Odd fruity taste, chewing gum, maltiness, kinda dusty, slightly crudely biter, strawberries again, being lovely by slightly less pleasant flavors. Interesting if anything and nice.

Draught at the brewpub. Poured an orange murky body with a small white head. Sweet and hoppy nose, carrying some kind o f strange dry maltiness. Soft and malty taste, sometimes soapy, a bit dry, dominated by something orange-like. Ok enough if pale in comparison to the Severin I’ve had earlier.

Dark copper-amber color, tiny white head. Sweetish berries and flowery hoppyness in the nose. Talvi is quite bitter like it’s American prototypes. Flavor has some strawberry jam and flowery hoppyness. Certainly this brew has similarities to some earlier Bruuveri beers.

Draught@Bruuveri in late Nov 2007, shared with mto during the "Sahti on the tastes so much better on the streets". Hazy nut brown/deep ambery colour with small off-white head. Aroma is yeast, some strawberries and raspberries along with some grainy notes as well. Fruity and berryish flavour along with some yeast and mild spruce in it as well. Biting carbonation. Rather strange IPA...
