Dark amber color, good foamy and tanned head. Strong metallic (seems very typical to Hartwall beers nowadays) nose with sugary notes. Medium-bodied, malty, slightly harsh and caramelly. Toffee-malty aftertaste. (3/4/5/3/12 2.7) larsga (2448), Oslo, Norway Dec 30, 2006 Small white head. Lightish brown body. Sweetish, grainy caramel and malt aroma with notes of hay. Sweetish grainy hay-like taste, quite light. Watery body. A bit lacking in taste, but a decent session beer. (0.5l bottle.)
