JK54B (385), Finland Aug 21, 2008 A cloaklike nose. Quite foaming. Some hoppiness in the nose. Thin and waterly taste with some hints of malts. Slight vanilla in the nose. A 0.33L bottle from local shop. esox (113), Oulu, Finland Jul 8, 2008 Canned. Pale golden beer. Small and diminishing white head. Aroma is grainy and there is some vegetable-like notes in it. Unpleasant, stingy hops in the finish. Some grassy elements are detectable. Quite metallc finish. Flavor is dryish and grainy with light bitter finish. Light bodied and a bit fizzy carbonation. Somewhat unpleasant mouthfeel with fizzy Co2 and stingy hops. Maybe the worst Finnish bulk lager. azlondon (501), Greater London, England Jul 1, 2008 Appearance: Pale golden. Little bit of shortlived head.
Aroma: Not much, some hops and malt.
Taste: Some malt and hops. Not much. Little aftertaste as well.
Info: 330ml bottle, 30/4-2007 janir (178), Oulu, Finland Jun 9, 2008 Golden-yellow colored beer with small white head. Aroma is sweet malty, slightly buttery. Grainy malty flavor with strange bitterness. Light-bodied and carbonatedly foamy palate. wunderbier (1261), Finland Jun 1, 2008 Bright bronze colour with a thin foam. Reminiscent of honeyed whole grain toast with shy floral accents. Light grains are quickly replaced by a brackish mid-palate then a leafy finish. Weightless and watery; soft carbonation and building astringency.
Strange minerality and numbing quality in contrast to a pleasing appearance and aroma.
33 cl can, best before 07.10.2008. Tasted blind in a class III showdown, 4th place (of 8).
