This was a nice one. I don’t like the image of it, but it tasted crisp, clear and was very smooth. Quite like the regular Lapin Kulta, only a but "icier".

Pale golden colour. Sweetish malty taste, a hint of hops, corny aromas too. Thin, watery body. Compared to the regular Lapin Kulta, this is somehow crispier and not so skunky and therefore much more enjoyable in my opinion.

bottle beers of europe. its a lager, a drinkable refreshing lager and that’s about it. thin

The aroma is pretty nice in the beginning but turns into horrible as it gets warmer. Fresh but very thin flavor. I liked the malt profile though.

Light yellow colored, little vanishing white head. Sweetness, mild skunkiness, hops and citrus in aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is corny with sweetness and mild hops in the end, some citrus comes up too. Boring beer, still don’t know what makes this to be "ICE".

A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, and so is the flavor too, while the body is thin.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale golden with a tiny, white head. Very malty nose. Fairly good body with lightly sweet malt and a short, dry finish. Decent lager. 281105

Bottled. Yellow colour, bubbly head, which disappears quickly. Sweet malty aroma with hints of bitterness. Smooth malty flavour which turns into hoppy bitterness in the finish. A bit bready aftertaste. Watery.

another typical hype job by the finnish macrobrew spin doctors. note how icing the beer raised the alcohol content by a whole 0.1%! well at least they got the bile-like tang of ice beer correct! final thoughts: drink esonian.

Bottled (BB 09/2004)
Lager color, small white head. Sweet cornish-like nose. Carbonated light mouthfeel, sweetish flavor - Finnish version of Budweiser?
