 wunderbier (1266), Tampere, Rovaniemi over summer, Finland
May 8, 2008
Blossoming pale foam; straw gold hue. Soft continental hops over timid pale malts and a surprising note of tropical fruits. Fairly attenuated; brisk malts give to vegetal hops and a drying finish. Slick texture and quickly diminishing carbonation.
Unclean at times, feels half completed at others.
50 cl can, best before 18.08.2008.

Jun 16, 2008 Sweetish malty and a bit grassy aroma. Sweets malts, a bit grass and lemon in flavor. Thin mouthfeel.

Feb 24, 2008 Can 0,5l. Pale golden colored. A shortlived small creamy head. Strange aroma and flavor of medicine. Some modest malty taste in the finish. Bad aftertaste. Something tells me this beer is off - but drunk two months before expiry date.

Jan 18, 2008 500 ml can, thanks to KnutAlbert. ABV is 4.5%. Normally the "export" version of a beer is stronger than the "ordinary" version, but in this case it is weaker! Crystal clear very pale golden colour, big white head. Moderate fruity aroma, citrus and candy. Light bodied, thin mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and sugary, with minimal hops. Not much to write home about here - nor to export.

Jul 8, 2007 50 cl can from a Finnish grocery store.
Rather malty beer, but it is nothing above the ordinary. Some hops add al little, but there is not enough dryness to make up for the malty sugar. No need for all the colourful boasts on the can!
