Laitilan Kievari Humalainen

Brewed by Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Laitila, Finland

Small white head. Small hopp aroma with a litle grass and spices. Taste is hoppy with citrus caractair and a good bitter bite.

Dark yellow colored with little yellow head. Hopped aroma with grass, fruits and some herbal English PA note. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is similar with lemony fruitiness and grassy hops dominating, aftertaste dries still.

Crystal clear paleish golden beer crowned by a gentle white froth. Active effervescence produces irregular constant bubbles. Gently flowery, perfumey and soapy nose. Not particularly fresh smelling for a dry-hopped beer. Grainy, gently sulphury malt structure which includes sweetish boiled cereals and metallic notes in the finish that packs an honest, cleansing bitterness drying out the second half. Post taste is spicy and highly herbal (chives, grass). Refreshing offering.

A 0.5L bottle from K-Market. Mild hoppy nose. Pale head. Pale golden yellow colour. Mild waterly taste. Hoppy bitterness. Slightly metallic taste.

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Golden color. Slightly soapy aroma. Grainy soapy, slightly hopbitter flavor with a hint of red berries. Soapy finish.

500 ml bottle. Aroma has really nice touch of hoppiness. Light golden body, light white head. Nice dry and crispy mouthfeel, long aftertaste. Hoppy grapefruit, extra bitterness, some grassy notes there. Overall great addition to Finnish beers.

Bottle 0,5 l. Clear golden, small head. Nose is fresh, hoppy with a bit of citrus and grass. Appealing. Flavor is surprisingly bitter with a juicy grapefruity twist. Sits somewhere between a british IPA and a Californian PA. Very nice and fresh.

500ml Bottle - Dark gold/amber in colour with a small head. Malty and hoppy aroma with hints of apple, tea and bubblegum. Fairly bitter and hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, tea and peach, followed by a grainy, malty and hoppy finish. A good effort and rather drinkable.
