COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Untamed Karhu is the strongest in its breed. Its full original gravity gives it a substantial and strong taste. Karhu is a full-bodied beer.

wunderbier (1434) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUN 1, 2008
Pale gold with a scant froth. Faint elements of corn and hay find sharp butter and sulphur notes poking through. Minimal flavour of sweetcorn and straw decays into a softly acidic, limping finish. Frail body, slick, with weak carbonation.

Frustratingly light; flaws stand out against a pale background.

33 cl can, best before 16.04.2009. Tasted blind in a class III showdown, 8th place (of 8).

janir (215) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAY 9, 2008
A dark golden color, thin white head. Aroma is some kind of berry, much sweet malty and a bit hoppy. Sweet malty flavor and slighlty hoppy finish. Light-bodied palate is a bit carbonated, bit watery too.

austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - MAY 5, 2008
Golden, slightly rocky pale head. Very light aroma with a hint of sweet malts. Flavor is sweet malts and light hayish hops. Mild and clean. Light to medium bodied, smoothly carbonated palate. At least it’s not mineral. A hometown beer, goddamn (perkele)!

KungFoo (7) - FINLAND - APR 4, 2008 does not count
Light bodied, clear, bulk lager. SImply the best among mainstream Finnish lagers.

ProblemBase (4) - Kokkola, FINLAND - DEC 14, 2007 does not count
Quite typical finnish bulk beer. Taste like malt, quite bitter, simple, waterly. Serve chilled!

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a longlasting white head. Malty bready and grassy aroma. Smooth bready malty flavor with some grassy hints. Sweet malty finish with almost no bitterness in the aftertaste.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - SEP 23, 2007
Light yellow. Tastes like moldy grain. What’s Finnish for "crap"?
