"Marsalkka Luomuvehnä." Reviewed from notes taken in Summer 2014.

Truncated review sitting on a park bench with a bottle in Helsinki:

.5 litres. Cost was under 3 euro.

4.60% ABV.

AROMA: Pilsner and helles malts. Crisp barley. Some grassy hop aromatics.

Seems surprisingly well-balanced. A pleasant aroma of average strength.

TASTE: Grassy hops complement the simple helles and pilsner malt backbone surprisingly well. Clean 2-row barley fills out the body.

Average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour.

Not as cohesive in build as it ought to be. Has a sharp metallic off-flavour to its obvious detriment.

TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, crisp, overcarbonated, light-bodied, and somewhat refreshing.

OVERALL: Downable but underwhelming. I wouldn't buy it again, but I've had worse. Above average in spite of its flaws and shortcomings.

C+ (3.14) / ABOVE AVERAGE
