Formerly brewed at Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas

Bottle, cloudy yellow color with yeasty look too. Nice carbonated mouthfeel, tastes of lemon with hops also hint of tobacco. Overall a pleasant suprise.

bottle at Angleterre Helsinki 130508 Color: hazy yellow. bit head Taste: nice mixture of easy wheat beer and some citrus fruitiness too. Oh, finally I have found ideal after sauna beer for me and available also in supermarkets. I walked in to bar and chief told me: Now I have you something what I haven’t tasted yet.

Unfiltered steambeer in a 0.5 liter bottle. Available from local markets. Nice head. Hey coloured and cloudy. Some lemontaste. Maybe too hoppy for my taste. Anyway worth of drinking on a hot midsummerday.

(Bottled) Hazy golden with a smallish, bubbly-lemonadey, completely fading head. Lemon-limey aroma with some banana fruitiness. Lemony-fruity flavor with some sourness, and quite evident sulphury notes (from the yeast?) in the finish. Light to medium body with somewhat fizzy and high carbonation. The aroma is pleasant, and drinkability ok, but I found the sulphury finish somewhat off-putting. Hopefully it’s just a bad bottle, but I doubt it.

Hazy yellow color, small off-white head. Fruity (orange) and maybe a bit spicey - witbier-like aroma. Flavor is yeasty with typical unfiltered beer-like grainy notes. Also kind of bean flavors. Unfiltered lager with wheat beer character. This is funny summer beer from semi-big Laitilan brewery. Maybe the start of series of seasonal beers?
