33cl can. Sparkling golden, firm white head with lovely ringy lacing. Mild aroma, dry malts, little hay, vegies and honey, not that fresh. Dryish bready flavor, herbal hops and honey, hint of warming alcohol. Almost medium bodied, smooth tight carbonation. Horrible aroma, and overall not as refreshing as the 4,5% version.

330 ml can. Golden color, frothy white head. Pleasant aroma of grassy hops and malts. Smooth mouthfeel, nice bitter flavor. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Reasonable pilsner that’s very drinkable.

It is warm golden with a white head. The aroma has sweetness and notes of malt, caramel and fruit. The flavour has a moderate sweetness and a slightly dry grapefruit and notes of malt and light caramel. The flavour is a bit unbalanced, but the aroma is nice.

Can. Thanks Pat. Pours clear golden with a thin white bubbly head. Sweet aroma of grains and malt with some metal. Fair mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and grainy with a herby touch along with some metal. Bitter bit sweet finish.

This is just absolutely horrible. Looks ok, but that’s it. Boiled vegetables and nasty metal everywhere. No hops, only a little maltiness. Down the drain, never again. Unbelievable this has a 2.5 rating.

Canned. Clear golden colour. A thin off-white head. Weak lace formation. Malty aroma has butter, some honey and lemon. A bit metallic hops in the finish have lemon notes. Flavor is sweetish malty. Honey and some sweet caramel in the finish. Medium bitteration in the finish is quite soft but metallic. Oily texture and low carbonation. Medium bodied. This stronger version has maltier body and more diverse aroma with some fruitness compared to 4,5 % Kukko Pils. The finish is more metallic in this one. Both are OK pilseners to me.

Thinn golden colour. Small DMS aroma but also much nice maltiness ansd lasting foam. Malty and some body. Not to much hops and bitterness but right amounts for a pils.
