2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Can. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of brewing cereal, malt, and some straw. The flavor is raw with notes of sweet malt and brewing cereal as well as an unrefined hop note, leading to a bitter finish. Brutal. Thanks Papsoe for sharing and Timo for bringing it to Denmark.

1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Canned, thanks oh6gdx! Clear yellow, rich head. Fruity syrupy nose. Sweet and thin with vague fllavours of rice paper and metal. No hops, nor bitterness. At least the off-flavour are kept to a minimum.
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Canned. Yellowish golden colour, small white head, lacing. Aroma is maize, malts, metal and slight rubberyness. Flavour is maize, malts, and quite harsh grass. This is very close to something of the most boring of Finnish "new" beers...

Clear golden with a tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy and grainy notes. Sweet flavour with corn, hops and grainy notes. Finished dry and somewhat bitter.

Can (BB 03/2008)
Ok, this is the latest idea from Sinebrychoff (owned by Carlsberg): "let’s take an old beer brand from the 1990’s and promote it as easy to drink festival beer". "Wild Indian" was the first corn beer in Finland 15 years ago (this one is propably with different recipe). Maize beer doesn’t sound very good marketing idea in Finland, where Bud has had quite bad reputation in the 2000’s. It pours golden with lots of CO2 and has small white head which fades away. Corn is evident in the nose as well some papery and skunky notes. Soft malty, a bit sweetish flavor. Propably corn softens this beer, although it is more on malty side. Light palate of course. Sweetish malty aftertaste. Clean and harmless summer drink. Cooler it is, the better it is. Slightly better and more drinkable than I expected, corn is not dominating in the flavor.
