Karhu IV A

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

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

330ml bottle from Alko Muonio. Airy, bubbly white head. Clear, golden-amber body. Earth malts in aroma with wet paper notes. Malty sweetness makes up the flavour with a discreet finish containing hints of rounded hop bitterness. Medium bodied. By and large alright for the style (Tromsø, 22.09.2009).

330 ml can. From m/s Silja Serenade. Clear bronze colour with small white head. Boiled vegetables, caramel and metal alltogether in aroma. Wood, vegetables and malt in quite stale flavour. Some hoppy bitterness in aftertaste. Far away from the refreshing taste of Karhu III.

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2009 Its an okay beer if served cold (only bottle - can ruins its taste). Maybe a little too malty. I would not recommend this beer in addition to a meal but it works great as a saunabeer.
