330ml bottle. Short-lived head over a pale golden body. Slightly malty aroma. Cardboard flavour filled with a lot of sweetness. Hints of metallic hops in the ending. Standard bland lager (Vardø, 29.07.2007).

Blond color. Hoppy aroma; it’s light, but at least is there. Unfortunately the flavor is poorer than expected, almost watery mouthfeel, with light malt and light hopping, and the final is not very long.

Badgerben shared this, but I’m not sure if I should thank him or not. Awful fermenting bread taste, some mold, and lots of unrefined grain soaked in water. Undrinkable.

Big creamy white head; yellow body with ongoing carbonation. Sweet perfumy aroma with notes of apple. Taste is papery apple with a watery bitter aftertaste, leaving a strong papery off-taste in the mouth. Has good sides, but could do without the paper. (0.4l on tap.)

(Bottle 33 cl) Fully golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Malty aroma. Medium body with some quite sweet malt. Discreet bitterness. Dortmunderish which seems to be a style the Finns appreciate. 230106

Tapped. Golden colour, not much head. Malty aroma and taste with bitter aftertaste. Should change name to Kurjala (=lousy). I just hated it every moment while drinking it.

(On tap at Helsinki Airport). An ordinary golden pilsener with a low head, good hoppy (Saaz?) aroma. Light bodied, easily drinkable. You could down a few of these on a midsummer’s day/night. Not unpleasant in any way (= not too much character either). Moderate bitterness in the aftertaste.
