Ungstrup (24029) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 22, 2002
A yellow beer with a small head. The aroma is slightly sour as if it contains brewing cereal. The flavor is fresh and prickling with a hint of sourness and ending in a slight but nice bitterness. A pretty refreshing beer, but nothing special.

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Lapin Kulta Premium". Golden with a small, creamy head. Very pronounced malt-sweetness with only a small, discreet hoppiness in the palate. Good, full-bodied pilsener. 250505

joergen (14992) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 26, 2005
Bottled. Yellow coloured with a small fast disappearing white head. Aroma of malts with a bit sweetness and notes of hops and grain. Flavour of grain, malts and hops. A bit sweeter than most pale lagers, but still ordinary andd boring.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - DEC 30, 2008
Bottle, 5.2%. Clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is mildly grainy and quite vinous for a lager.

Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 23, 2001
The Finnish lagers usually have a shade more flavour than most. This would be the exception. A snoozefest from start to finish.
