Huvila Black Door H.O.D.A. or Hop Overdose Ale. Just 3,9% abv but 100EBU! This comes from a brewer in Savonlinna in Eastern Finland. HODA used to be sold only in one bar, Black Door, in Helsinki, but now it is also available in bottle. And I am very, very happy about that.
I love hops, but what I do not always appreciate is that massive hops are so often combined to massive alcohol and sweet malt. This beer is crisp, light, not obviously malty yet not watery either. Citrus and grass aromas; dry and deliciously bitter - as the label says: "If life seems bitter - try this!" Awesome stuff!
It seems like just the stuff that a quality importer like the Shelton Brothers would want so I wouldn't be surprised if you soon see it over there. The rest of Huvila's range isn't bad either.
