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...

kerolasa (353) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - AUG 26, 2010
Small head, hoppy lager style smell. No suprices, it’s a lager. This drink could be any berliner any where in world. Second sip is nice and easy to have.

altonbrownd (3419) - Brussels, BELGIUM - JAN 19, 2011
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.

Psytron (503) - Turku, FINLAND - AUG 1, 2011
A bit richer taste than Karhu III, but not enough for the extra effort and price to get this one.
