Karhu III

Brewed by Sinebrychoff (Carlsberg)

(Bottle 33 cl) Karhu really manages to make good-looking beers. This one is also fully golden but the head is completely lacking. Some malt sweetness well balanced with the hops. In flavour this is a typical standard pils. 150405

50 cL bottle at Olearys Malmö Central, 5.4%. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully golden. Dry malty and slight metallic aroma. Flavour too is mild metallic with a light malty to breadish note. Ends mild malty and metallic. Clean though.

Bottled. Orangegolden, no head to talk about. Bittersweet barlic hoppy nose with. Malt and barley in the taste, with hoppy notes in finish. Good carbonation level. One of the better Finnish "bulkbeers"

Bottler at O’Learys, Malmö. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts and hay with notes of caramel. Flavour of malts and hay with notes of sulpur and caramel. Bitter finish.

Typical Finnish lager - hoppier, maltier, and overall fuller than North American examples.

The best of Finnish basic/bulk lagers. Not much hop. Somewhat darker than the most of Finnish competitors and beer has certain edge comparing to eg. Lapin Kulta III, but differences are not very big. Good beer with food and after sauna. (5/3/5/4/11 2.8)
