Hahahah, Ogi found it in his Konzum 7 months ago... this seems to be a part of the same import, only, well, 7 months later. Why would someone import an unknown, unimportant "Finnish" beer brewed in Denmark is beyond, me... guess they fell for the visual aspect. Anyway, here it was in Žabac Food Outlet for cheap, coming close to expiry. Looks pretty good, mind you, Ruby tinged with some brownish-amber, lighter, ruby-er Cola, with a nice, relatively lasting thick off white head. Dry caramelly-dusty malty aroma, classic malt-driven macro, but clean, vague hints of random fruit perhaps. Sweet, clean taste, maltiness and vague fruitiness which is in turn vaguely tart, kinda blends all together. Hm, not as awful as I figured it might be. Watery finish. Classic sub par macro beer, but as far as sub par macro beers, this is pretty good, at least for less than 1€. Clean, didn't offend me, has higher % alcohol allegedly. You can do much worse, both with Hartwall and Albani. And Žabac come to think of it.

Bottled 330ml. -from local Konzum supermarket. dark amber/brownish coloured, medium sized pale beige head, sugar and some dried fruits in the nose. Toasted malt, dried fruits, raisins and sugar with notes of caramel and touch of alcohol in the finish. Bit too sweet but drinkable.

33cl bottle from SuperAlko, Tallinn. Pours dark mahogany coloured with a modest off-white head. Malty, caramelly and somewhat bready aroma with notes of dried fruits and alcohol. Sweet, caramelly and flavour goes in the more unpleasant direction. Not something I would like to drink again. Sweet mess! --- Beer merged from original tick of Polar Monkeys Silver Back Strong Ale on 21 Jun 2016 at 23:11 - Score: 4
