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.

TET (1094) - - AUG 4, 2012
A light yellow beer with a medium and white head. Aroma of malts, some aromatic fruits and lemon, hint of honey and berries. Taste is light malty and pure, mild bitterness, some herbs, honey and lemon. Medium- bodied, very smootha and nice to drink. Quite nice beer, but more bitterness would be needed, like this too shy.

Citrus and pine aromas combined with sweet caramell malting. Hazy light amber with short white head. Bit lacing. Taste has fruit and flower flavors. Light and fresh. Light body and texture, soft finish medium long. Slightly sweet. Nice fresh beer which is easy to drink and enough good aroma and flavor to enjoy.
