Draught. Golden color, white head. Pretty boring malty aroma. Malty flavor with just a touch of alcohol, low bitterness. Slightly better than the III version and definitely one of the better mass-market beers of Finland.

Clear golden color, white head. Canend vegetables, malty sweet scent. Sweet, sugary, slight bitter taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness.

330ml Bottle- Dark golden/amber in colour. Lightly hoppy aroma with pear,malt and a hint of honey. Despoite this, it seems a bit sterile. Mildly sweet and malty taste with a bit of grain and mild hops. A bit more flavour than your usual lager but nothing special.

330ml bottle (alko)
Orange, brief head. Slightly sweet (honey?) malty and hoppy aroma - however, those are heading towards plastic and metallic respectively. Slightly fizzy on the palate. Decent sweet malty body - almost a breadiness, complete with a burnt crust - for a lager, but not much to really grasp at and the hops are a bit astringent, so don’t savour this in the mouth too long. (One of my drinking habits is to leave the beer in the mouth quite a long time.) Finish lasts for a short while - a dodgy kind of hoppy bitterness, and some trailing simple malts too. No superstar, but no dud either. I could imagine chucking back several of these in the sauna.
