(Bottled) Very pale yellow color with a small head. Almost completely odorless with very, very slight maltiness. Sweet flavor with some corny malt here and there, with an alcoholic tang. Very thin mouthfeel with hefty carbonation. This is like Lapin Kulta Ice on steroids (higher ABV) - ouch! Timo: this was the 7th beer Juha has ever rated, and the rating has not been updated since then. I wouldn’t be surprised if the points would drop by 1-2 at a re-rate :)

NOTE: This is not really a rating. I’m converting my old notes over to BR. This is more like "check" for my own purpouses, that I have indeed drunk this beer at the time it was produced.

Bottled (BB 11/2004)
Very pale yellow, creamy white head. Lively carbonation. Light corn and malt aroma. Carbonated mouthfeel - like in "ice beer", thin and watery. Citron crisp with some hints of hops giving slightly bitter aftertaste. How different I see this one than Juha.

Light golden color, nice thick head, slightly lace. Pretty full body with lots of malt and nice hops aroma, clean flavor. Palate is soft and sweet malt. Overall nice premium lager over average.
