Draught @ Koulu. Golden, small white head. Soft, toasty malty aroma, little banana and a slight sourish edge. Smooth malty flavor, toast, banana. Mildly hayish finish. Smoooth round palate. Maybe lacks in hops, but wins in maltiness.

Bottle 1,0 l. Pale golden, small white head. Nose is spicy hops, malts and a bit metallic. Flavor is mildly malty, spicy with an elegant hoppy and malty aftertaste. Fresh, with a nice twist in the end. Well made, with a bit of pils touch.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JUN 18, 2010 Keg (Koulu, Turku)
Rich straw colour, tiny tight head. Served cold, very little aroma.
Fizzy in the mouth, a bit harsh. Simple bready malts, some gingery
hops, but has been emasculated by filtering. Would benefit from a
thicker body. Quite like Plevna Tahti III. 4:2:5:2:9=2.2
Rerate: Summer 2010, where Koulu’s cellar is at a warmer
temperature - 6:3:6:3:12=3.2
A touch of sourness on the nose, but the palate is full. Really
benefits from the increased temperature, there’s a lot more going on
here than when cold. A real fresh lager, lovely.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Yellow/golden. Kinda hard to get a grip on, nothing special in either aroma or flavor. Then again, nothing really wrong with it, just no charisma. Your typical pale lager. Soft maltiness and a slight touch of bitter in the end. Hint of citrus in there somewhere.
