Commercial Description:
Aura is a pale and fresh lager with a pleasant saaz hopping. The fresh flavor is aromatic and balanced. Aura has been brewed to celebrate the 120th birthday of the original Aura beer (brewed in Turku), as well as the 775th birthday of the city of Turku, the oldest city of Finland. The hopping has been considerably reduced compared to the original recipe.

A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of alcohol and hops. While the flavor is plainly sweet malty with some notes of hops. The mouthfeel is very sparkling.

(Bottled, re-rate 04/2006) Clear, golden color with a small , lacy head. Grassy, lightly aromatic-hoppy, toffee-caramely aroma. Somewhat acidic, bitter-hoppy flavor with not much maltiness. Quite long, dry and bitter finish. Light-bodied, dryish and quite (fizzy-)carbonated palate. A pleasant deviation from Finnish bulk lagers, but not quite up to the pilsener scale. Add more malt and some Amarillo hops, and we’re talking...

For some reason I like the taste of this beer compared to most other Finnish lagers. A bit sweet in the aroma, and compared to the other reviewers I would like to have more hops in it.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a nice, creamy, hoppy nose. Rather light-bodied with a good malty feel, but eventually the bittering hops take over resulting in a pronounced, bitter finish. 030106

From a trade with oh6gdx. The body is light gold with a trace of a white head that sticks around. The aroma has hints of bologna and some rasins. Surprisingly sweet. The taste is light romaine lettuce with some notes of canned pears. This is an interesting and strangely sweet pale lager. There is a hint of raw potatoes in the finish. A decent warm weather brew.
