Bottle. Amber with a thin white head. The classic bread and malt was there, but also a bit more character compared to the usual finnish lager. The beer was quite sweet. Some hints of perfume. Some bitterness in the finish.

Bottle, 5.7%. OK malty aroma, a little sweet and spicy hop note. Clear shiny chestnut colour. Roasted flavour with a bit of plastic. OK malty note, but also some paper. Rubbery aftertaste.

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Amber color. Grainy, bready aroma with the slightest hint of cinnamon. Grainy sweet flavor with cake dough and mashed potatoe (!). The slightest hint of nutty bitterness coming up in the aftertaste.

Pours clear copper brown colour with a mediumsized offwhite head. Aroma is slightly sweet, moderately malty with notes of raisins and caramel. Body could have more character, now it is a bit watery and lame. Also the metallic hint could be smoothened out.

330 ml bottle. Copper color, frothy off-white head. Metallic aroma with a hint of caramel. Bitter, fairly dry metallic flavor. Medium body, medium-light carbonation. Not something I’d buy a second time.

It is dark amber with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and light fruit. The flavour has a light sweetness and a refreshing, citrussy bitterness, notes of malt and caramel. The finish is refreshing and dry.

330 ml clear bottle. Finland. Copper brown colour. Alcohol is not too good hidden and I find it a bit disturbing. Not very good for a Oktoberfest/Märzen beer.
