What about the beer?
Colour is hazy brown with a large white head. Aroma has syrupy malts,
caramel and sweet rye bread. Taste begins with grainy fruits. Sweet
fruity caramel malts dominate with a little snap of alcohol. Towards the
end bitter dark fruits get through among the sweet
malts. Aftertaste has fruity malts and alcohol warmth.
Tasty Traditional Ale from the sahti brewery. Sweet fruity malts get the
starring role as they should, boozy kick is very warm and gentle.
Really enjoyable stuff.
This beer was part of Alko's Finnish microbrewery craftbeer selection in spring 2017.
Ölbeat
Since the brew's named after the smallest bird in Europe - hippiäinen, goldcrest - the song's name was deciced. Only thing to do was to find the right one to fit the style of the beer. Luckily, an acoustic song from this Irish singer-songerwriter fitted the mold.
