The Prykmestar Vehnä is a wheat beer, more specifically a Hefeweizen. It's brewed by Vakka-Suomen Panimo, a medium-sized Finnish brewery located on the western coast of Finland, in Uusikaupunki. The brewery was founded in 2007 and its products have received several awards since. The Prykmestar Vehnä contains only 4.5% alcohol so it's allowed to be sold in Finnish supermarkets (dumb Finnish alcohol laws limit the sale of alcohol stronger than 4.7% to liquor stores).
The Prykmestar Vehnä is a light/medium-bodied beer with a typical Hefeweizen character. The beer delivers a fruity banana flavor with a hint of pepper which is followed by a sweet wheaty malt aroma and a slight taste of yeast. The beer finishes with a dryish citric hoppiness.
Overall, The Prykmestar Vehnä is a very nice wheat beer. It's a bit light, which is understandable since it only has 4.5% alcohol. The Finnish alcohol laws limit the beer's strength and thus prevent it from becoming a true masterpiece. However, when it comes to wheat beers available in Finnish supermarkets, the Prykmestar Vehnä is definitely one of the best (although it's also one of the most expensive ones).
