500ml Can - Dark brown with red tinges and a foamy lively head. Malty aroma with cereals and some sweetness. Thin to taste at first, some roasted malts a mild bitterness and coffee then feature. The aftertaste is drinkable but has a strange twang to it. Nothing special but not bad.

300ml Can- Light golden in colour with a lively head. Fresh, grassy and malty aroma. Thin and watery taste with malt and mild hops. Not much bitterness. Rather boring but that does not come as much of a surprise.

Copper-brown beer with medium but quickly disappering head. There are grass and some aromatic hops in the aroma. There are bitterness and malts in the flavour and taste last some while. Quite easy to drink, but not watery and carbonation is balanced. Olvi 130 Vuotta Juhlaolut is quite interesting beer with succesfull nuancees and actually there are nothing wrong.

Can. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with a very light note of malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of cardboard as well as hints of citrus, leading to a dry cardboard finish.

33cl bottle. Amber with a loose white head; malt aroma; malt taste, thin and watery (as expected); slightly sticky finish. Cheaper than bottled water - so I’m not complaining!
