What about the beer?
Colour is hazy straw yellow with an overwhelming white head. Aroma has
sour apples, yeast and sweet wheat malts. Taste begins with yeasty
citrusy sour bite. Fruity biting sourness and yeasty funk take over with
wheaty and spicy side flavours. Towards the end
sweet fruits get in front with sour lemon and spicy yeast. Aftertaste
has salty lemon sourness and malty dryness.
Mild but tasty Saison. Everything's where it should be: sour and yeasty
aroma followed by sour, funky, wheaty and spicy taste. Great summer brew
from the local brewery.

"Hip hip." The name of the beer, Lomittaja, means stand-in and is in Finland used especially from a person to takes care of the farm when the farmer is sick or on holiday. So, we're imagining the farmer to a distant sunny island when his stand-in is working and sweating on the countryside.
