Bottle, somewhere around 2003. Can’t really call this a witbier, as the taste seemed watered-down compared to the true renditions. The flavor was bizarre, bringing to mind Finnish Camping Lenkki processed meat sausages.

330ml bottle. Too sticky to be a Wit, an insult to the style. Filtered, which removes any interesting character that the ingredients might have had. Disinctively wheat-based, with some coriander, but in general quite disappointing.

Refreshing summer beer. No substitute for the German ones, though. Unfortunately there are no Finnish wheat beers available at the moment, at least from the larger breweries.

Pale golden, crystal clear. Somewhat sweetish, clean, aroma of citrus and coriander.

I don’t know if this is a filtered version of the departed Kruunu or not, but it is very much like a witbier, with a light palate, and some citrus accent. Not as good, and especially not as complex, as Kruunu was.
