Can. Straw-yellow with short, not lasting head. Aroma faint and macro-malty with some apples. Watery texture, watery taste, some macro-malt but not too much, some metallic elements, some apples, light bitterness. Really dull pale lager.

Can. A clear golden colour with a white head. An aroma of cardboard and malt. A light sweet taste with a dry and light bitter finish. A mdium body and carbonation. Not my kind of beer.

Can. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. OK pale lager.

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt and hops. Semi oily palate.

Pours golden amber with a nice off white head leaving some lace. Aroma is malty, a bit sweet and hoppy with a touch of fruityness. Acidy crisp mouthfeel. Flavor is malty, sweet and hoppy; average lager. Medium palate. Finishes with a nice bitter hoppy aftertaste. One of the beers I grew up with...

Väriltään Karhu III:n isoveli on tumman kultainen. Valkoista vaahtoa ei muodostu hirveästi, mutta jonkin verran ja kuten arvata saattaa, se katoaa nopeasti pois. Mitään selkeitä aromeja en tästä erota. Humalointia tässä on maun perusteella jonkin verran. Ihan pikkaisen makea kai. Vielä pari vuotta sitten Karhu oli niitä oluita, joihin käteni shoppaillessa helpoimmin tarttui. Niin se maku vain muuttuu. Kallistahan tämä ei ole, mutta lieneekö siltikään hintansa väärti?

Can from Finnish Cafe in Brussels. Body light amber with puffy head. Nose of malts and corn. Taste very lager-like of malts, toffee and corny finish. Watery and easy texture. But not bad at all.

Nothing to remember in taste, aroma or appearance. Regular, dull finnish pale lager.
