Canned 0,33L. Compact of good persistence head. Yellow clearly color, much limpid and deprive of beads. Modest and light aroma with dry grass and alcohol notes. Lightly prickly taste, decidedly tinny and with good alcoholic tenor. Medium/short end with determined and extended bitter.
Thanks to mabjork for this beer.

Dusty lager nose, gold color, foamy head. Creamy malt, sharp grassy bitter end - like the peel of a fresh date. Oily feel. Heavy body, but not balanced or under control. Not good overall.

Thanks Juha for sending this over. Golden color, small head. Light grass and sweet grain nose. Kind of soapy with a harsh bitter kick.

Can. Clear gold color, medium off-white head. Alcoholic sweet aroma with grassy hops. Flavor likewise fairly sweet, with alcohol and grassy hops. Faint, short bitter finish. Medium body, light carbonation, nice palate. The alcohol has a distracting effect in this one. Certainly not as good as the standard Kukko Pils.

Canned. Clear golden, small head. Grassy hop aroma. Dry with crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Delightfully hoppy with good bitterness. A well made authentic German style pilsener.

Very malty, as the Finnish lagers tend to be. Lots of taste. Some more hops would have done a lot of good.

(B.B. 7/05). Orange colored, medium white head. Fruity, mildly sweet caramel aroma. Sweet, also mildly caramel flavor, ends with medium dryness and bitterness.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Malty aroma with hints of honey. Malty taste with bitter ending. A bit of honey in the aftertaste.
