Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Grassy, citric aroma with some dust. lemon flavor with plastic and leather, dust and grass. Maybe even some bretty notes. Thin. Moderately succeeded attept to brew a good Finnish landbier.

Bottle 0.5 l. Hazy yellow, pretty small disappearing head. Nose has yeast (?), fruits. Flavor is nicely rounded malty, bitterish with some yeasty and fruity tones. Some citrus too. Easily drinkable and pleasant with a nice bitter bite. I would gladly have this out of season too.

Hazy yellow color, poor head. Great full hefeweisse aroma: yeast, bananas and some rubber. That was the good news. The bad news is this tastes like shit. Very harsh, oddly spicy, a ton of boiled vegetables. Nasty bitterness. Almost undrinkable. I have no idea why this is rated to high. Must be the name Kesä = summer.
