Organic filtered golden ale from Saimaan
Juomatehdas, Finland. Head is fast as a shark to disappear. Scent is sweet and
fruity, maybe some plum too. Appearance is a bit like with some pear cider.
Taste is kinda ciderish too, in a way (not sweet, but dry). Fruity, yeah, a bit
bitter too at the beginning. Aftertaste is not very pleasant, like some apple juice
or something. I hate apple juice, by the way.
Well, this is hoppy, in a refreshing way,
but a bit odd experience for me because of those very noticeable apple and
cider associations and at the same time not very much maltiness. Maybe this is
meant to be like this. But this lacks balance, that great beers have. This is a
nice experiment, but not necessarily a pleasant experience. For some, this
might be the best beer there is. If you have cider-loving friends, dear beer
folk, let them try this and say, if they like this new kind of beer or not.
As I don’t really like ciders, and this is
almost disturbingly ciderlike, and reminds me even of some horrible apple juice,
this just doesn’t work for me right now (or ever). Still, of course, million
times better than those other beverages mentioned.
** Drinkable
