Have I ever mentioned how much I despise Matti Vanhanen? I would have had a tasty US ale if it wasn’t for the draconian anti-alcohol laws that he’s instigated. Consequently, I’m left with this muck instead. Vanhanen - go kill yourself. Pale straw colour, huge scummy head. Like polluted frothing river or sea water. Massive muesli grainy aroma. Some plasticine too. Very watery palate, quite fizzy. More of the muesli and rabbit food in the taste, quite branny, and a little sweet. Never seen a hop, as far as I can tell. Drinkable, but really not very good.

Light gold with nice standing head. Aroma of wet grains and some hay. Sweet flavour. Never again.
