wunderbier (1267), Tampere, Rovaniemi over summer, Finland Mar 24, 2008 A thin and fizzy tan head bubbles away quickly over a clear, maroon body. Initially the aroma seems a bit sharp -- crushed grass and carbonic acid. Thin malt begins to come along by way of Graham crackers and chestnuts. Very light coffee and toffee also come into play. The aroma feels somewhat empty and thin. Dry cracker sweetness with some astringency turns into a sharply grassy and acidic finish. Light to medium body with a slick, acidic texture and average carbonation. Seems to be missing the malty backbone one would expect from the appearance and there isn’t enough in the way of the hops to stir up intrigue in that direction either. 50cl can, bbe 11/09/2008.
