Medium white head. Copper body. Sweetish malty aroma with notes of yeast and rubber. Sweetish caramelly malt taste with metallic notes. Very clean palate. Dry, faintly roasty caramelly malt aftertaste. An OK lager, but nothing special. (0.33l can.)

White head over a pale organge body. Light hoppy aroma. Hints of malt and light, sweet fruit in flavour - taste more and more like sugar water. Overcabonated. Light palate. Abrupt ending. Thin, diluted and insipid (Tampere, 06.10.2006).

Canned. Golden colour, white mediumsized bubbly/foamy head, which disappears quickly. Malty and hoppy nose with weak caramel/honeyish hints. Strong bready malt in flavour with a bit bitter notes. Flavour also contains a bit caramellish sweetness. Not much aftertaste, except for weak bitterness.

Darkish lager color, white head, some lace. Light fruity nose. Very malty but watery, slightly bitter finish but finding hops is almost "mission impossible". Unoffensive, lame.

(33 cl can). Golden lager, low head, some hops in the aroma but not much, slightly sweet, at least some malts are detectable in "the best Finnish ground water". Drinkable (not offensive), but far from great.

Olvi's pale lagers are better than either Hartwall's or Sinebrychoff's. For whatever that's worth.
