What about the beer?
Colour is golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is very fruity with seducing mango-pineapple-orange juice. Taste begins with fresh sweet and bitter fruits. Sweet mango gets on top with a solid bitter grapefruit side note that grows towards the end. Final twist adds gently spicy piny flavour. Aftertaste is fruity bitter and piny dry.

On the label it says: "Humalaa niin perkeleesti." = Devilishly dosed hops. Imperial IPA that suits me. Damned and delicious. The luring fruity aroma gets finished in the taste. Bitter and piny flavours perfect the excellence. Hiisi belongs to my personal elite league of Finnish top breweries.

For some reason the guys at the brewery know what they're doing but don't know shit about good music. Small amount of ambition would be good with artist recommendations. CMX, seriously? No. Never... Well, make a Skitbit brew and I'll consider. But here's a song to match the infernally hopped brew. Geezer Butler's bass solo intro snaps right together with the sinful aroma of the brew.

From the 1970 album Black Sabbath, the song was written by Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne amd Bill Ward.
