omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 4, 2002
Unbearably sweetish and bland, lacking any hint of bitterness as well as any other redeaming feature one can think of.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - FEB 21, 2005
Bottled. Yellow coloured with big white head. Malt and hops in aroma. Very smooth taste compared to aroma. Mainly malt and hops in taste. Semi-bitter taste. Disappointment compared with other Saku’s I’ve had.

MiP (11256) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUL 12, 2009
Can, 4.6%. Mild grainy aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour is OK malty with a little chalky note. Standard macro lager, but less repulsive than most.

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 2, 2000
Harsh, grainy, yet somehow bland as well. I didn’t know you could do that. Anyway, there are thousands of swill-ass mainstream lagers out there and this is in the bottom five.
