Draught, 4.6% at Bruuveri. Weak bready aroma. Hazy golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is quite citric. Dusty notes, quite malty, but the acidity puts me off a bit, like most other Finnish lagers. Fruity finish.

Draught, 4.6% at Bruuveri. Bready aroma, a lot like an alcohol free beer. Quite bitter flavour, slightly citric. OK malty, and slightly dusty.

Bottled (BB 02/2009)
Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. I am suprised to find grainy and buttery aroma, latter is a sign of diacetyl? Watery palate, weak malt profile. Decent hoppyness, some fruityness and then toffeish butterness, which gives unclean impression to this beer. Harsh hoppyness in dry, empty (although long) aftertaste. Slightly failed attempt to make a Czech-type pils?

Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Clear golden, brief head. Grassy and papery, light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Cardboardy finish without bitterness. An attempt at a tropical adjunct lager? With this much water in the recipe I can see why they named it after a lake...

Bottled. Pale golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grass, malts and hops and some notes of earth. Flavour is very much the same. A rather bland and watery brew.

(Draught at Maltainen Monni on 2008-04-19) Pale and clear. Small white head. Hops in nose. A bit dry palate. Hints of malts in taste. Dry pils-lilke hoppiness. Technically flawless but boring.
