500ml bottle shared at home. Pours clear light yellow with a thin white head, low carbonation for the style, the head doesn’t hang around. Grassy and biscuit aromas, perhaps white grapes. Classic ’Lager’ aftertaste, something vegetal. Decent bitterness, decent enough beer.

Bottled 500ml (K-Kamppi, BB 03/2013, alc. 4.5 %)
Clear golden color, small white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, pale maltyness and yeast. Light bodied, crisp carbonation, oily palate. Citrus, lemon zest, sweet fruityness in the pale malty flavor. Nothing fancy but balanced and tasty beer for this ABV. This doesn’t taste as a lager. More ale-like.

Bottled (from K Citymarket Lielahti, Tampere), 4.5 %. Golden colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruits, bread, mild grainy and wooden notes as well as quite a nice big herbal touch. Flavour is fruity, floral, grainy and mildly earthy. Big time hoppy floral fiinish. No haze noted in colour even though pouring all the bottle contents in. A "lager" that tasted quite much like a golden ale... The commercial description on the bottle says: "A premium quality blonde beer with a light biscuit palate and a fresh, grassy aroma". Kind of works, but if this pretends to be a lager (As the RB description says) I say FAIL. Is this a different brew from the original Organic Blonde?

50 cl bottle (4,5%) @ home, BBE 03/2013
Aroma is sweetish with fruits, grain, some toffee and hay. Flavour is fruity with toffee, some grain and hay. This feels like a hybrid with fruits from an ale and grainy feeling from a lager. Good.
