Pretty anonymous beer. Nothing bad with it and you can chug down alot...not good...

Flaska 50 cl. Bärnstensfärgad öl, med vitt skum. Vacker att beskåda. Och där var det positiva jag hade att skriva om det här tämligen både doft- och smaklösa försök till öl.

Basic Finnish lager which in my opinion is one of the best mass market lagers in Finland. Sour aftertaste and high carbonation.

The best of the Finnish mainstream lagers. Usually a can of 0.33 litres is enough because of the strong taste. Goes well with spicy food.

Standard lager appearance. Malt nose. Medium carbonation. Basic lager taste.

Can from super market. Golden color, white head. Malty taste with citrus, grass and toast. Light body. Drinkable basic lager.

Sadly, the best of a bad bunch of Finnish mass market lagers. Unremarkable aroma carried by large amounts of carbonation. Malt body initial, quickly replaced with an odd metallic twang on the tongue. Extremely high carbonation means burping lots, but no pleasant "hop burp" flavor appears. Instead, more of the same.

Can. My favourite of Finnish bulk lagers. Stronger taste than in most Finnish lagers.

0.5 can. Soft aroma coposed mostly of some tree and leafy scents, also a bit of moss, not bad for a pale lager. Provides small white head topping this light amber-colored clean beer. Nearly tasteless, slightly bitter. Light body, thin texture and fizzy carbonation irritating the tongue. Finish is similar to the scent, pine-like. Overall the beer is bad and usual for its kind, unexciting and dull.

Average aroma, appearance, taste and palate. Decent, somewhat memorable. Rated in the past from the bottle.
