progressive (65) - Vantaa, - FEB 7, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 20, 2011 Now this is a good beer. Roasty with no bad bitterness. Creamy, though watery. Strong aroma a bit like in some good rye bread (non-Finnish people probably don’t know.. there’s many kinds of rye bread), a bit like jälkiuunileipä. Anyway the malt is very pleasant tasting. No vomit taste. Very easy to drink. Also some berry/raisin taste. Edit: next taste was more like a good flavored mämmi - not very nice thing after all anyway. [0,5 l, local milk store, Finland]

Aroma is somewhat sweet and malty with caramel, some grass and metal. Flavour is malty with grainy notes, some metal and caramel. One of the best Olvi beers I’ve had. But still nothing much.

Psytron (875) - Turku, FINLAND - NOV 2, 2011
Very near the basic Finnish lager. Somewhat more malty. Some alcohol aroma to be noticed. Faintly sweet aftertaste. Sharp palate, not pleaseant. Pretty boring for something marketing itself as a Münchener.
