Oct 20, 2005 Canned. Clear golden colour, with small, foamy, white head.
Sweetish, slightly yeasty aroma, with lots of grassy hops.
Light carbonation, smooth palate, medium bodied.
Flavour mainly of grassy hops, with dry, bitter finish.
Not bad for a finnish pils! Best enjoyed in small sips, to keep the bitter at bay.

Sep 1, 2005 The aroma is not as bad as it good be as a pils... Yellow with thin head and some lace. Very simple taste with a little apple in it.

May 7, 2005 Updated: May 27, 20052005 can thanks to Juha!! Pours a honey-gold yellow. Medium-sized bubbles rise quite lazily to the top to form a whispy white head, that is not long retained, but fades to a ring of foam. Clear. Good lacing. Smells of light honey, grain husks. No yeast, not really much hops. Flavor, though, I did enjoy. Laitilan seems to make pleasant and simple beers and that can hit the spot at the right time. Pils malt and herbs, with a touch of tin and dough (that’s an odd combination, yes). A full swig yields significantly more bitterness than a small sip, though it’s quickly overtaken by doughy honey malt, though there is a reprise of light grass clippings on the finish. Medium body, moderate wateriness, little to no yeast apparency, though some light crispness on the finish. Soft carbonation, maybe even too little of it. Lovely retronasal hops, grassy and bitter!

Strangely parfumed aroma and slightly sour from malts. This is more a Helles than a Pils, in my world. Minimum aftertaste. Boring.

Feb 14, 2005 Canned. Clear yellow, big white head, which disappears quickly. Sweet barlic taste with hints of honey. Bittersweet taste with the bitterness coming first and the sweetness coming in the aftertaste. Barley and hops dominate with caramelly taste in the finish.

Feb 7, 2005 Pale yellow colour, grapefruit-like aroma & flavour, quite dry, somewhat bitter, not that malty. Not a great beer, but a nice and refreshing one.
