Karhu III is a full-bodied and hearty lager. The beer offers a stronger hops and malt flavour compared to other regular lagers. The first Karhu beers were enjoyed in Pori in the 1920’s. Karhu was brewed in the Pori region up until the beginning of 1930’s but then it began a long hibernation period. Karhu has been continuously brewed since 1958, first in class I.

Bottle from Kilpis in northern Finland. Nice appearance with clear golden colour and white head. A bit of sweetness in a medium body but otherwise lack of both aroma and flavour (sampled together with Catweazle and Finn 11.04.2006).

(Bottle 33 cl) Karhu really manages to make good-looking beers. This one is also fully golden but the head is completely lacking. Some malt sweetness well balanced with the hops. In flavour this is a typical standard pils. 150405

Bottled. Orangegolden, no head to talk about. Bittersweet barlic hoppy nose with. Malt and barley in the taste, with hoppy notes in finish. Good carbonation level. One of the better Finnish "bulkbeers"

The best of Finnish basic/bulk lagers. Not much hop. Somewhat darker than the most of Finnish competitors and beer has certain edge comparing to eg. Lapin Kulta III, but differences are not very big. Good beer with food and after sauna. (5/3/5/4/11 2.8)
Re-rate, can brewed in Kerava (BB 01/2005)
Dark-honey lager color, foamy head with lace. Aroma is metal, rubber and malts. Malty, metallic flavor, quite similar to Koff III. Long nice malty aftertaste. (3/2/4/2/7 2.0)

(500 ml can). Typical pale golden pilsener colour, good thick head, nice lacing. There is nothing offensive in aroma or flavour - just too little of everything. "Clean" taste as far as there is any flavour at all - with a little more hops, this could have been a reasonably good lager.
