I have already written about the increase in Finnish beer variety after many small, "independent" breweries have entered the business. Indies have the advantage over their big accompanies in making beers distinctively different than those leading bulk lagers. This is a product like that. Based on Belgian yeast and four different hops, this beer smells and tastes good, almost like a lemonade, but is still beer. Quite easy on the alcohol (4,2% vol) and easy drinkability are not curse words as there are not many beers like this in Finnish groceries.
I would not choose this if it was the only beer I had to choose for the evening, but it's a great beer to drink in between heavier, more flavorable dark ales, stouts and bitters. I don't really like wheat-based beers, but this has also malted barley in it and with those hops and yeast, there is a sweet combination of lightness and taste. Maybe the best blond ale there is - at least from the Finnish point of view. Long live indie breweries!
*** OK
