330 ml bottle. 4.7%. Finland. Pale golden colour with small white head. Grainy, malty and slightly corny aroma. Sweet malty flavour with some hops. Nothing to make it interesting.

330ml bottle. Pale to medium gold in colour with 2 fingers of frothy snow white foam. Clear and well carbonated with a medium hop aroma. Mildy bitter with a nice aftertaste. Nothing special, average but drinkable.

330 ml bottle. Golden body with a white head. Light aroma of grain with notes of fruit. Flavor is plain, sweet malty with a hint of fruity hops. Pretty straight forward and frankly very boring.

Bottle. Malt, raisins and discrete flowers in aroma. Golden yellow colour with high, soft and white head. Malt flavour with discrete bitterness. Very soft mouthfeel.

Bottled (alc. 4.7%). Pale yellow color, small white head. Skunky grassy and grainy aroma with sweet corn notes. Fizzy carbonation. Harsh maltyness with honey, lemon and corn flavors. Unbalanced brew with odd flavors but at least it is not "just another pale lager" as I expected. Me does not like.

330ml bottle. Pours a pale yellow, very small head that lasts about 20 seconds. Not much inthe way of aroma. Bit of a metalic hint and a little acidic. A mouth feel like fizzy water with almost not taste. A little bitterness but only just. Wouldn’t buy it again.

A typical clear straw-yellow, not much of a head. Aroma is crisp and strong, but otherwise unremarkable. Flavor is rather typical of a lager - malty and crisp but not complex; at least it tastes like beer. Texture is smooth and just a little tingly.

0.33 l bottle from K-market Länsiväylä, Jyväskylä. Pale golden color with white head. Delicate honeyish malt aroma with notes of lemon. The flavor is about even with honeyish malt and herbal-grassy hops. The bitterness in the finish is slightly rough.
