DRY! Otherwise, one must search for flavor and any nuance of complexity. Does fairly well with a meal of mild seafood.

Can Corny and canny aroma with some malt. Taste is sweet, and typical for this style of beer. Decent, but not groundbreaking.

(Canned) Paleish golden with a medium, foamy head. Rye-bready, neutral and somewhat stuffy aroma with no hops to speak of. Grainy-malty flavor with some rye, quite a bit of metal, and a dry, somewhat harshly bitter finish. Light to medium body with medium, slightly fizzy carbonation. A somewhat harsh, dry, stuffy and rye-malty lager. Not very refreshing, so don’t buy this for thirst. (Canned, BBE 10/2005, was 3-2-5-3-8=2.1) Very pale golden color with a small and diminishing head. Mild, corny-malty, slightly sweet and fruity aroma. Malty, sweetish flavor with distinctive grassy hops and some rye bread. Bitter, quite short finish. Light-bodied, but not watery palate. Sharpish, but balanced carbonation. Quite refreshing and clean basic lager with a decently interesting flavor.

Can
Typical lager color, small white head. Malt, bread aroma. Also taste is strong malty and brown bread. Roasted after taste. Not bad for "ordinary lager". (5/2/7/3/12 2.9)
Re-rated, can, alc. 4.5 % (BBE 01/2006)
Yellow, white head, lace. Aroma is malty and has some interesting fruity and hoppy notes. Medium-bodied but lacks flavors. Fruity and hoppy finish but not enough to qualify this to being "pilsener". Watered version of Laitilan Kukko. (5/2/4/2/9 2.2)

As macro lagers go, this is ok. A thin watery body with a reasonable grassy aroma. Bugger all head but has a lingering bitter finish.

Vary pale yellow with a fairly strong hoppy aroma. The flavor is quite hoppy too, with a bit of grain and menthol mixed in. Better than most North American macro's, but still pretty ordinary.
