Bright, light, golden, small head. Aroma is pretty light, slightly bitter. Light, somewhat watery body. Flavor has notes of fruits, slightly bittered, bit dry. Boring bulk lager.

Oct 22, 2005 Bottled. Clear golden colour, small white head.
Sweet aroma with slight bitterness and something vaguely drainpipeish, if you know what I mean.
Typical mass produced pale lager aroma. Somewhat metallic aftertaste. Boring, but certainly not as watery as many of its kin.

Jul 6, 2005 Basic lager. I found it to be much better on tap than in bottle. nothing bad about it....nothing special either.

Jun 14, 2005 Updated: Jun 21, 2005Canned, rated 6/7/04, rating notes now retrieved from broken handheld. Had this in-flight on FinnAir, where I thought it was a "Koff Special." Ho-Hum. Another country’s same old pale lager. Smell is skunky, sugary and adjuncty. Strange rocky head over a straw body. There’s something in the taste that says "malt," but it also says "clean out the fermenter!" Nasty yeast smell, too.

Mar 26, 2005 Updated: Aug 19, 2006Bottled. Yellow, nice white foamy head. Aroma is bitter and malty. Bitterish flavour, pretty watery. Pretty standard Finnish lager. (3 2 4 2 7)
Bottled. Among the 200 first beers I rated. So now, about 1500 beers laters (and a lot of crap lager) I actually apprecialte this one. Yellowish golden colour, with small creamy head. Very smoothly done brew with mainly malts and hops in both aroma and flavour. No erraneous flavour os aromas even if it gets warm. Wellbalanced mix of malts and hops, and easy to drink. Not harsh hoppy like Karjala f.i.. Plain, maybe watery, but very clean. Not giving a "medium"score between new and old ratings for this one, since I have had lots of it lately and I think it deserves a good rating, though I’m not a big lager fan...

Mar 1, 2005 When I first tasted beer, I liked this one, but now I find it quite flat. I want something MORE of my beers!
