wunderbier (1267), Tampere, Rovaniemi over summer, Finland Apr 30, 2008 Bright bronze beer supporting a foamy white affair. Oily and spicy, mild hops play against bready, honeyed and nearly caramel malts. A initial tangy bitterness slips slightly to let a soft, malty undercurrent shine through before washing away into a floral finish. Velvety with plush carbonation.
Somewhat biting and harsh with warmth; sturdy malts underpinning spastic hops
50cl bottle, best before 22.11.2008.

imdownthepub (3963), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Jun 11, 2008 Bottled, 500ml, Filtered. Clear gold with white head. Really quite an impressive Pilener, quite hoppy with touches of vanilla, butter in the flavour, a touch sweetish, but you can forgive that for the ABV. There is even an early nasal alcohol note. Quite reasonable really. Tranquillity (1027), Espoo, Finland May 10, 2008 Bottled. Thick white head, half-hazy orange/yellow. Sweet hoppy aroma, taste full and a bit fruite. Very enjoyable sauna-beer. Long bitter and quite balanced finished.
