Grand, Finnish

Well now here's an oddity: a Finnish lager showing up randomly in Lidl. If it was part of a bigger promotional range, the rest of them never arrived or sold out quickly. Pyynikin in Tampere is the brewery and it's called Mosaic Lager.

There's a definite haze to the 4.7%-er, rendering it a dull brassy colour. The aroma is freshly spritzy, smelling like lemon zest in particular. That continues in the flavour, lending it an almost radler-like taste, the effect accentuated by a soft texture and gentle effervescence in place of fizz. Mosaic's peach and melon complexities are missing, but so too is its nasty savoury side. The end result is simple, refreshing and eminently sessionable as a result.

Summer was a very long time ago, but keep this in mind for the next one, should it reappear.
