Boks 0,5l kjøpt på Kilpisjärvi. Gylden brun farge. Lavt skum. Litt for mye kullsyre. Beskjeden aroma. Flat smak - men litt malt. Fruktig bitter ettersmak. Kjedelig. KI=6

Copper brown beer with medium head. Aroma is slightly aromatic, lot of malts, some sweetness and grass. Flavour is quite similar than aroma, malty, not sweet anymore, balanced, some hops and quite long aftertaste. Nice to drink. Olvi Vaakuna is quite nice malty and aromatic beer.

Can, 4.7%. Citric aroma, very much like white wine. Clear golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is also very vinous. Like white wine mixed with cider. Perry finish.
