2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 23, 2008
(Bottled) Clear, paleish golden with a small, bubbly and quickly vanishing head. Honey-malty, herby and mildly buttery aroma with hints of alcohol. Pale-malty, mildly fruity flavor with a strong metallic breeze in the middle, and no hop bite in the quickly fading, mildly acidic finish. Almost medium-bodied, somewhat acidic, fizzy-carbonated palate. Not my kind of beer: feels sharp, metallic and acidic, although the body is reasonably malty.

500ml bottle (alko)
Rich straw colour, scummy head. Slightly biscuitty malty aroma, slightly insipid hops too. A bit fizzy in the mouth. Very bland sub-pilsnery lager. Thin and gutless body. Better than cheap muck, and fortunately devoid of nastiness, but no real bite to the hops either. Just a pale lager.
