Clear golden color with very thin disappearing head. Weak aroma. Thin malty, strangely metallic and watery flavor. Although refreshing on a summernights barbeque on the countryside in Finland.

Labeled as "Iskelmä". Clear golden in color, non existing head. The aroma is slightly malty. The flavor is watery as best.

(Draught on 2008-07-30) Golden. Clear. Small white head. Metallic nose with tiny hint of hops. Light palate with lot of carbonation. Metallic taste. Tiny amount of malts and bitterness. Harsh aftertaste. Bad.

Shiny gold hue, clear, and a loose foam. Fleeting nose of oatmeal and baked apples; butter and grass gain speed over time. On the tongue, sweetened butter and bitter apple skins evolve into a grassy wash. Chewy texture for such a slim body; biting carbonation.

Fermentation flaws cannot be ignored on a setting this delicate.

33 cl can, best before 12.2008. Tasted blind in a class III showdown, tied for 6th place (of 8).
