KOFF III is an internationally rewarded aromatic lager beer. It is lightly hopped, with medium strong pitching wort and a soft taste. It has a clear golden yellow colour, dense crown and clean finish. Fresh, cool and pleasant, yet aromatic and full-bodied, it is at its best in good company and sociable surroundings.

Canned, rated 6/7/04, rating notes now retrieved from broken handheld. Had this in-flight on FinnAir, where I thought it was a "Koff Special." Ho-Hum. Another country’s same old pale lager. Smell is skunky, sugary and adjuncty. Strange rocky head over a straw body. There’s something in the taste that says "malt," but it also says "clean out the fermenter!" Nasty yeast smell, too.

Bottled. Yellow, nice white foamy head. Aroma is bitter and malty. Bitterish flavour, pretty watery. Pretty standard Finnish lager. (3 2 4 2 7)
Bottled. Among the 200 first beers I rated. So now, about 1500 beers laters (and a lot of crap lager) I actually apprecialte this one. Yellowish golden colour, with small creamy head. Very smoothly done brew with mainly malts and hops in both aroma and flavour. No erraneous flavour os aromas even if it gets warm. Wellbalanced mix of malts and hops, and easy to drink. Not harsh hoppy like Karjala f.i.. Plain, maybe watery, but very clean. Not giving a "medium"score between new and old ratings for this one, since I have had lots of it lately and I think it deserves a good rating, though I’m not a big lager fan...
