Olvi Iisalmi Pale Ale



Nicely citrusy session-IPA. Mosaic, Galaxy, Comet and Saphir –hops. Normally they just put some lager in a can - Olvi I mean - and I guess there can be some hops in the mix, but you can’t actually tell. Now hops are very much on top so very nice Olvi!

I hope, there would still have been just a bit more hops and bitterness (maybe a bit watery feel), and I would’ve liked this more. Now, this is just a nicely sessionable Finnish macrobrewery stuff I’ll buy over any other Olvi or Hartwall beer (Sinebrychoff has their crown jewels). 

**+ Definitely drinkable / OK for sessioning

Edit: After another session I wasn’t so judgmental and would raise this...
*** OK+ beer in its own class of  “grocery sold session-IPAs & -APAs”
