Estrella Cheddar Chipotle

Average run of the mill bbq-flavoured crisps with a light hint of cheese.

2.5/5 - not actively bad, a full flavour, but not particularly innovative or anything

Kaksi Kotia vailla humalaa

The first gruit beer I've ever had was a pleasant surprise. Finnish microbrewery Rekolan Panimo's Kaksi Kotia Vailla Humalaa ('two homes lacking hops(/lacking drunkenness)') is flavoured with chaga mushroom and wild herbs. It has a relatively sour profile, with a strong  flavour of wild strawberries. I expected more herbal flavours, but the strawberriness really dominated the flavour experience. Not a bad thing, though.

4.7/5 smiles.
