Description
The brewing tradition in Helsinki is hundreds of years old. The latest chapter of this story began in 1995 on the island of Suomenlinna right outside of the city. It is here that a one man brewery was founded in the former jetty barracks. The brewery has grown to be home for a small group of dedicated professionals, all passionate about beer culture in Finland. Now Suomenlinna Brewery is one of the largest local breweries in town.

The rich history at this UNESCO world heritage site has been the inspiration for many new beers at Suomenlinna Brewery. Each beer and cider we brew has its own story to tell. When professional attitude and modern technology are combined, the end results are bold, honest, high quality drinks. Our special releases are a sign of our inspiration to create and to try new things.

When you drink a Suomenlinna beer or cider we hope you taste our commitment to quality and creativity. Come visit our brewery on the island of Suomenlinna, the pearl of the Helsinki archipelago. We hope you enjoy every sip. Kippis!

Draught at Villi Wäinö, shared with Matti. The body is almost black as pitch with just a ring of bubbles to the rim. Aroma is aniseed and malty. Dark malts with mid-tart fruits to the taste buds added by liquorice. Finish off with a roasted bitter touch. Medium bodied. Tasty (Helsinki, 06.02.2011).

(Cask at Gallows Bird Kekri ’10) The beer poured amber and hazy. In my opinion cask ales should be really clear so minus one point. Head was ok. The fruitiness of the aroma was overwhelming and really pleasant. The keg version had more intense hoppiness in the aroma but the hops weren’t missing from here either. Also the taste was very fruity, Other flavours were toffee, hops, malts, sweetness and bitterness. Overall: a good brew, really fresh and fruity but too sweet.

Old rating, from tap: 6-3-6-3-11=2.9

Draught, at the brew pub, Suomenlinna, Helsinki, Finland. Dark orange colour with a smallish white head. Sweetish, fruity nose. Slid down nice n’smooth. More fruituness in the flavour and some decent enough hoppage also revealed itself in the flavour. Pretty simple stuff, but clean and very drinkable on a hot summers day in the garden.

Handbottled from draught (thanks Ville!). Hazy yellowish golden colour with small white foamy head. Aroma is quite spicy with some wheat and mild biscuity notes. Flavour is zesty, coriander and some other spices, wheat and mild sour wooden notes. OK witbier attempt!

On tap at the brewpub in July 2010. Very dark brown, almost black with a small head. Roasty aroma with licorice, coffee and caramel. The taste was rather sweet. A quite pleasant Porter but on the thin side. Low carbonation.
