(Draught@Black Door) Slightly hazy amber with a small, tight and lacy head. Quite crisp, lemongrassy, British-hoppy aroma. Fruity, flowery-hoppy flavor with a dry, bitter finish. Medium-bodied, quite carbonated palate. A nice and crisp-hoppy bitter.

Draught@Black Door
Hazy amber color, creamy white head. Ashy and leafy aroma. Hops come sharp and biting: first they attack then mellow down. Crisp, refreshing bitter, with almost IPA-like hopping. Bittersweet, flowery hopping with long lasting aftertaste. Excellent brew from Huvila.

Draught. Amber colour with mediumsized creamy off-white head. Aroma is fruitish hoppy and slightly grassy. Flavour has a lot of fruit in it and is really smooth. Aftertaste gets is also nicely fruitish hoppy. quite dry.

(Draught@Black Door, Helsinki) Fruity and flowery aroma. Amber colour, slightly hazy and white, average size head with good lacing. Citrus fruity, moderately bitter, malty and crispy flavour. Medium-bodied, slightly sticky, smooth and softly carbonated palate. Excellent bitter! 12/06/07

Not as good as Huvila´s original bitter. A good bitter, easy to drink but nothing special. A lack of personality is the only problem comparing to the other Huvila ales.

A Mes rate: Draught at Bruxellensis. Nice bight amber colour with a slight off white head. Decent spicy hop aroma that is very bitter and dry. Flavour very much along the same lines. Light fruity notes and some malt underneath giving it pretty good balance. Very delicate caramel lending it a bit of sweetness. Bitter finish. Thoroughly enjoyable and very English. Much better than thousands of others we have to choose from over here.

Draugh (Black Door, Helsinki) Rich brown colour, thick creamy head. Gingery bitter smell. Sweet malty taste, but plenty of citrusy hops - grapefruit. Long malty finish, even longer bitter finish.

Draught@Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki. Amber color, nearly no head. Hoppy aroma. Bitter taste with a malty background and a long finish. A very quaffable bitter in the English style.

Bottle @ SOPP, Helsinki. Clear, a bit darker colour. Very full aroma, subtle flavours. Wow! This taste is good. Pineapple, apple, lemon. Smooth and silky.

Draught at Black Door, Helsinki
Beautiful amber color, hazy; thin creamy head. The aroma is nice, but light. Good body strength, dry mouthfeel, strong caramel flavor, and a growing bitterness, very powerful at the end; in the final the malt and the hop mix very well together into a toffee impression. The final is extremely long. A perfectly brewed English styled Ale.
