Lager color, small white head. Sweet cornish-like nose. Carbonated light mouthfeel, sweetish flavor - Finnish version of Budweiser?

Lager color, foamy white head, small but quite steady. Not much aroma - slightly metallic. Watery and light palate - a bit grassy hops in flavor. Like a light beer with some hops thrown in.

Bottled, as Lapin Kulta Premium Lager, in St. Petersburg, Russia. At 80 rubles, the most expensive beer I had in Russia. And yet its label seems to suggest adjunct grains. There is a very slight citrusy hop quality to it, but otherwise it’s just another "premium export" beer. The label says it’s brewed in Tornio, Finland, which may make it the northernmost beer out there.

Really pale color. Pear’s candy aroma. Sweet flavors, with some pears, but poor and quite artificial.

Dark lager color, mostly vanishing white head. Malty, slightly sweet aroma. Light to medium bodied, watery, malty flavor. Not much aftertaste. Hartwall claims this one as Dortmunder.

Copper color, off-white foamy head. Smoked caramel aroma, malty. Quite full-bodied with typical dunkel roasted malty taste. Very warming with hints of toffee in the finish. Suprise from Hartwall, this one has nothing to do with standard Lapin Kulta! (7/4/7/4/15 3.7)
Re-rated, 2006 version. Dark ruby brown color, small tan head. Caramelly, roasted rye bread, chocolate and berry-like aroma. Toffeish, toasted malty with long light roasted aftertaste. Schwarzbier-like. (7/4/7/3/14 3.5)

Pale amber color, small white head. Aroma is very lightly malty. Quite standard Finnish bulk lager: light-bodied malty with some hoppy bitterness in the short finish.

Average foamy white head. Golden lager color. Aroma is yeasty malt, slightly metallic. Watery, crisp carbonated and metallic mouthfeel. Very mild bitter in the finish. This is quite similar to III version but has a bit more body.
