Karhu II (3.5%)

Brewed by Sinebrychoff (Carlsberg)
Style: Pale Lager
Kerava, Finland

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Golden beer. Malty, grainy aroma with tones of cornflakes. Sweet. Didn´t make anyone happy. Useless facts include Karhu means beer in finnish which is a strange and interesting language. Far more than the beer.

An average lager, not distinguishable from so many other boring beers. However, if you’re stuck in Sweden and Systembolaget has closed, this is a good bet.

UPDATED: JUN 14, 2005 (Can 50 cl) Pretty pilsener-golden colour and a nice and quite stable head. Actually rather tasty with a good balance between malts and hops. But naturally for such a light beer it lacks a lot in body. 270804

Can: Light yellow clear colour, with a thin head. Aroma of malts and hops, in balance. Flavor is almost the same, thin body, and finsih was short too.

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2012 can from Svinesund - yellow body with a white head - a very light versoin of the original Karhu :-( light malt and light hopps

ligd golden color, thin head, some grain and hops but overall very thin ,..and weak

No even the can looks interesting... So this IML(International Meaningless Lager) was found among the other meaningless ones in the local store. Well meaningless it became just after I had it, now it's already rated, ey! It is golden in color(nowhere else) and has a, before it vanishes(rather soon), fine white head. The aroma is really sweet but turns into a sour hopeless situation as it runs down the throat. Aftertaste is somewhat sweet, but the palate-feel isn't!

Canned. Contains antioxidant E222. A low quality standard megalager. Don’t bother.
