33cl bottle, thanks? to oh6gdx. Bbe 2001. :) Deep golden color with no head. Honey and cardboard in aroma. Flavor has some honey like sweetness, wet hay, cardboard, fudge. Well a tick is a tick. Remember having this before I started to rate beers several times.

Bottle 0.33l from local market. Originally rated many years ago. Just typical pale lager from Olvi that they luckily decide to retire. Unfortunately they started to brew worse pale lagers instead.

(Bottle 33 cl) "Another bland and boring Finnish pils", Pernille would probably say about this - but it’s not really THAT bad. Pale golden, pretty much without any head but high on CO2. A bit of malt-sweetness, almost no bitterness. Slight alcoholic notes. 040605

Bottled. Yellow colour, minor white bubbly head. Breadish malty aroma. Malty/hayish aroma with sweetish finish. Very mouthdrying.

Lightly hoppy mixed with "an articifal corn aroma". Pale lager outlook with small white vanishing head, lots of CO2. Taste is very close to water - just some malts. On the other hand, it is not tasting bad, just lame :)

Olvi may be the best of the national Finnish breweries, but let's not go nuts. This beer has a touch more hop than one would expect from a mainstream lager.
