Mitch_Wayne (112), Kokkola, Finland Aug 7, 2008 Sweet and malty, slight hops in the finnish, yeast... To be honest this bored the life out of me despite the warm weather that is required for this kind of stuff to work... Miksu (1291), Jyväskylä, Finland Jul 17, 2008 Draught at Gastropub Jalo, Jyväskylä. Slightly hazy pale gold color with small head. Sweetish and very malty aroma. Malty, grainy and honeyish flavor with low bitterness and creamy mouthfeel. Good maltiness but not much else. Surprisingly simple beer from a great brewery. Sledge Jr (2720), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Jun 25, 2008 in the bottle, thanks to hurrisnow. a chill-hazed straw colored gold with a thin white head. very grainy with a slight sulphur to the nose. crisp, clean in body. this is a warm-weather beer. it has a really nice yeasty grainy taste. it reminds me of chewing on barley husks. I would best describe it as a maibock without the bock. the finish has lemons. taunusmies (230), Finland Jun 18, 2008 Pours light yellow colour with a small head. Sweetish, malty taste with notes of yeast, fruits, grass and spices. A nice bunch of hops. Has some bitterness too. Refreshing. esox (113), Oulu, Finland May 11, 2008 Tapped. Minimal white head, some lace. Very blond yellow, slightly cloudy. Aromas are yeasty malts with spicy fruitness. Odour has almost faint lambic-like yeasty and malty notes. Also some bitterness in the finish. Flavor is a bit sour and has sweeter malt elements in the finish. Lively carbonation and medium body. Very well balanced and delicious beer with faint but diverse aromas and pleasant palate. I’ve always liked Ayinger beers but this was still a positive surprise.
