Small Beer: Meadowsweet, Finland
3.6
Another version of a herb-flavored Small Beer: now meadowsweet. This is actually the 23rd different version of the series. The beer is lucid, deep gold. No difference from the previous willowherb version. The carbonation is moderate. A pure white, minuscule-bubbled head covers the surface up to the level of half a finger. The foam doesn't survive long but the subsequent lace ring is longer-lived. The scent is astonishingly impotent: I can only pick a herbal vibe, faint malt and distant tea. They all are very minimal. The gustatory profile is refreshing and fairly pleasant. A distinct floral hint lingers on the tastebuds, also after swallowing. Grapefruit peel, modest pale malt and a suggestion of tea accompany the key flavor. The floral note is definitely meadowsweet. The body is light minus. The end is unchanged, meadowsweet dominates. Feels floral, herbal, light and refreshing in the mouth. Balanced. Summery. Better than the willowherb edition. Will surely work in the sauna. Pity I only have a few bottles of this left.
