500mL can: Very grainy aroma with sharp hops. Carbonated, Yellow gold body and thick, frothy white head (very appealing). Flavor is sharp and very bitter with a very subdued malt character and tends to get dryer as the beer warms, leaving a bitter aftertaste behind for many minutes to come. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry and refreshing. Where was this stuff when I was at the festhallen this Oktoberfest? Must’ve missed it...

(German) Pours a nice pale golden color with a dissipating white head. Aroma of grass with a hint of banana. Taste is clean with a malty flavor, there is some bitterness to the finish. Not bad, but much of the same when it comes to pilseners.

Draught@Kaisla, Helsinki. Golden color, low white head. A fairly straight-forward pilsener that doesn’t do anything wrong but isn’t great either.
