Golden, rather fizzy, medium white head, which vanishes quickly, no lace. Aroma is sweet malty, notes of bread aroma, slightly fruity. Light to medium, pretty carbonated body. Flavor is sweet malty, slightly estery, notes of bread, notes of metal. Sweet, somewhat astringent, medium-length finish.

Another malty strong lager from Finland. Nothing spectacular, more for mass consumption.

Dark golden coloured, small head. Malty, sweet and metallic, definitely needs more hops. One of the worst lagers i’ve had in awhile.

Same can as Caesar. Aroma of faint hops. Clear, golden-yellow coloured with a thin white head. taste is sweet, metallic, hoppy. This kind of stuff is drinkable in hot mediteranean countries, but in Finland? weird.

Canned. Clear dark yellow color, short frothy head. Aroma of hop, smells a bit. Tastes like a strong lager, very bitter, malty, metallic. Quite awful.

Bottled. Golden coloured, mediumsized white head, which disappears quickly. Fruitish sweet malty aroma with weak hints of honey. Bittersweet malty flavour which turns only bitter in finish + aftertaste. Bitterness is kind of weak though.
