Pehmokallo Candy

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and a delicate white head that settles to a fine ring. The carbonation is bright and lively, creating a luminous appearance characteristic of well-executed fruited sours. Light lacing clings to the glass with each sip.

◌ Aroma

Forest berries dominate the nose—wild strawberry, blackcurrant, and subtle red fruits blend into a cohesive, jammy bouquet. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, creamy note from the oats and lactose, grounding the aromatics. A gentle tartness emerges as the beer warms, hinting at the balanced acidity to come.

◐ Taste

Entry is fruit-forward and refreshing, with berry sweetness immediately apparent on the palate. The mid-palate develops a pleasant sweet-sour interplay, with lactose and oats providing a creamy body that softens the tartness. Low bitterness (10 IBU) remains nearly imperceptible, allowing the candy-like berry character and gentle sour tang to define the experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and fairly dry, with residual berry flavors fading gracefully. A lingering tart note persists without harshness, inviting another sip.
