As usual I brought
some Finnish food and drinks with me from my holiday, some of which
you will be seeing here in other posts as well. And as usual a few
bottles of Karhu were among those souvenirs. “Karhu” means bear in Finnish, but this one hasn't gone for
hibernation. It's a bit milder one (4,6 %) than its furry friends,
but it's still strong in taste. Of course I'm talking the whole time
about beer here (bear beer), in case I was being a bit cryptic.
This beer has a
malty nuttiness to it with some fruity esters. The sweet fruitiness
is balanced through the moderately bitter aftertaste. All in all it's
a very refreshing beer and can be well enjoyed after a visit to the
sauna.
I took these
photos already in Finland over Christmas, as we haven't seen any snow
in the southern England (yet) this winter.
Bear Beer made me smile, when I first saw the word bear I thought it was a spelling mistake then I realised and noted the bear image on the bottle. We have had a little snow here, but its melted away now, not in the hills though.
ReplyDeleteHaha another whimsical animal themed post. I frankly wish for a little bit snow, as then a cosy snow day is maybe possible. :)
