| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 2, 2009 33cl can. Grassy hoppy and a bit buttery aroma Typical golden colour with a white quickly dissapearing head. Tastes some malts and grassy hops with a bitter dry end.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 20, 2009 Can bought at Alko in Oulu, Finland.
A clear, gold-like color. A large white fluffy foam that disappeared rather quickly. Grass, bread, and a certain sweetness in the aroma.
The flavor contained in addition a malty bread, a little grapefruit and honey. The body was quite weak. Aftertaste was weak. Ughsmash (4095), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Thanks to Garrett for the can, BB 1/11/2007. Poured mostly clear medium golden (basically the color of the can) with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up honey, corn, and a touch of sourdough bread with little to indicate hoppage. The flavor found honey and corn again along with a deeper, darker vegetal character.. peppery alcohol and oxidation evident on the edges.. tacky honey on the finish. Light-bodied and well-carbonated on the palate.. didn’t flow too well.. considering the serious age on it, it surely held up well. rosenbergh (992), Helsinki, Finland
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jul 22, 2009 330 ml can. Finland.
Clear golden colour with small white head.
Sweetish grassy malty aroma. Quite sweet grassy malty flavour with some spices, quite harsh alcohol and Laitila vegetables. Not as good as 4.5% version.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Malty sweet and slightly bitter finnish pils that unfortunately has a slightly metallic aftertaste. Drank pretty good though. TET (246), Finland
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Golden beer with medium white head. Aroma is pure and there are found grain field, grass and some butter and sweetness. Flavour is pure malty with medium hoppiness and quite long and lasting. Medium palate and nice to drink. Strog Kukko Pils is average beer and differences to normal version are quite minimal. fonefan (11891), VestJylland, Denmark
