COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Huvila Joutsen is an easygoing ale of a pale golden complexion. The beer’s aroma reminds of toffee and flowery hops. It is very smooth in taste and reminds of bread and hints of honey. It has a REALLY soft finish. The quaffer of choice for warm days! It is available in selected shops, bars and restaurants all over Finland. It is also possible to visit the Malmgård brewery and buy Huvila Joutsen on site. Since 2011, Huvila Joutsen is also available in shops in Estonia through Drink Baar.

Oakes (10196) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 18, 2004
Clear golden colour. Abnormally fluffy head. Fruity aroma (pear, berry) with slight pale malt notes. Very sweet palate, quite fruity with peachy, canned pear notes. Different because it’s so sweet, but it seems to work on some level. It’s only slightly sugary.
