330 ml can. Aroma rich, hay and a little malt. Tastes a bit tangy with same flavors as in aroma.

Draught@viking mariella. Sweet malts, lager flavours. Body is thinnish, slick. A bit like a bock without too much alc. Malty, a bit grainy.

Bottle at a Curry House near the Olympic Stadium, Helsinki. Expectations were set firmly low for this and as such there was no disappointment. Standard lagery looks. Grainy, completely unremarkable flavour. To wash down a spicy ruby, it did a job.

Bottle 0.33l from Pendolino, train. Colour is golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours are metal, grass and malts. Pretty fresh but otherwise just horrible.

Nothing special at all. Golden colour, white head. Bready taste, very low bitterness. yupp.

Smells a bit, tastes like beer simply. The aftertaste is bad. However, I think this beer drinkable. Who has not had this beer on cruises of the Baltic Sea.

Typical mainstream lager. Refreshing, Not much bitterness and no surprise,

This is slightly dark for a pale lager, and head leaves lots of lacework on the glass. Aroma is weak, but taste is lively and snappy, but not lingering. Taste almost reminds me of a ginger ale....

Bottle. Pours a golden straw color with a short white head. Aroma of sweet grains and corn. Flavor follows the aroma with some bitterness and had notes of grass.

330ml bottle. Pours clear copper orange with a small head. Mild, metallic and slightly bready aroma. Metallic, watery taste with hints of bready malts. Quite tasteless lager.
