330ml bottle. Malty taste. Best of the finnish pale lagers. Not much to say about it.

Draught on Silja line ferry between Stockholm and Helsinki. Dark brownish beer with a lightly dry and malty aroma and a malty and mildly dry flavour. Overall a standard mainly malty and lightly dry beer.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2008 Bottle. Nice pale yellow. Virtually no head at all. A typical Finnish bulk beer with an inch of character. Easy to drink and fortunately easy to forget too.

UPDATED: JAN 29, 2008 Yellow colour and thin white head. Thin and simple lager with balanced flavor. But there is nothing interesting.

330ml bottle. One of the only Finnish number IIIs with some real hoppiness, but still just another mass-produced pale lager.

(330ml bottle) If you have drank Finnish "mass lagers" like Lapin Kulta and Koff a lot, Karhu is a considerable option for those with a stronger aroma & better taste. But it is still below average. Hard to say anything nice from these Finnish lagers.

Clear golden colour. A "thirteen in the dozen" lager. Some malts and a hint of hops. A very common finnish weekend beer...

Yellow color with a thin head. The aroma is just the slightest bit of caramel. Taste is... taste? Just a pinch of malt. At least it doesn’t taste like rat poison.

A very light beer, but there is some flavor. It is drinkable. Gold color.

Thanks to Badger ben for sharing. Tastless and but smells like stale biscuits.
