Dark portwine ruby with a good brownish head. Light roasted and malty aroma. Good malty body, slightly roasted flavor. Harsh malty aftertaste. Similar to Hartwall’s Dark Lager but has more malts and less roast.

Light, golden, slightly sour macro lager of no particular distinction besides a slight graininessand the fact that I had it in Jurmo. Jurmo is a damn fine place to relax.

Typical pale lager outlook. Aroma is skunky: grass, corn and rubber. As others said: no body, no taste. Very watery, oily mouthfeel.

Can, now known as Karjala Strong (BB 12/2004)
A bit darkish lager color, decent white head. Fruity and metallic aroma. Sweet, alcoholic mouthfeel. Finish is alcoholic and watery. Clean malt liquer but not much more.

A light yellow cider with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of perries. The flavor is extremely dominated by perries - but it is still very fresh.
