Tap @ Bruuveri Helsinki. Pours clear golden with a small white head leaving a glass full of lace. Aroma is grainy, malty, a bit sweet and grass; crisp and clean. Flavor is refreshing, malty, bready, a bit perfume, floral, fruity and bitter. Finishes longlived dry bitter. Very nice.

Clear medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, dusty, light to moderate hoppy, chlorine. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration, earthy. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100701]

Golden colour, small white head. Malty aroma with fruity notes. The flavour is sweetish malt and fruits. Light-bodied and quite low bitterness.

Clear light-brown color, tiny white head; bready malty, slightly fruity aroma; medium body, not too heavy carbonation; flavor starts good sweet malty with nice fruity tones, but then falls down in slightly alcoholic, rotten fruit aftertaste. Actually pretty average finnish pale lager, be it from a small brewery.

330 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear golden colour with small tiny head. Sweetish fruity malty aroma. Fruity (banana) bready malty flavour. Not very interesting after all.

Draught in Helsinki Bruuveri. Dark golden color. Grassy herbal aroma with malty tones. Strong flavor, bitter, little bit round, some tones of honey. Long aftertaste.

Bottle. Color of bright copper, the foam was not glarge. Bread, malt, fruit and some spice in aroma. Bread tones and maybe a bit of hay. Pretty sweet, bitterness was low. Body rather weak, the aftertaste is not too long. There was some nuts in the finish.
