Can 500ml (Alko)
Clear amber golden color, vanishing white head. Harsh malty aroma. Medium-bodied. Malty flavor, kind of harsh overtone. Malty aftertaste. Plain and too harsh for sessioning. Although it is craft all malt and organic, flavor is quite close to Finnish macros. Anyone drinking Karhu IVA, should like this one,

Can (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, mild sweet malts as well as some starchlike strange sweetness. Flavour is sweetmalts, mild grains, some strange sweetness as well as mild metallic and herbal notes. Without the metallic notes the flavour would be rather nice.

Aroma has grassy hops, some grainy malt and distant buttery notes. Flavour has grass, grainy malt, some corn and butter. Finishes with some metallic notes and more grass. Mostly clean pale lager with no surprises. Goes fine with herring and varhaisperunat.
