Can (BB 10/2008)
Clear amber color, creamy off-white head, some lace. Caramel and some grainy notes in the nose. Medium-bodied. Caramelly, a bit fruity flavor. Rounded mouthfeel. Some grassy hops in the aftertaste. Flavors are not really deep, aftertaste is short. Quite typical Finnish Vienna. Not very interesting anniversary beer.

Canned. Copper colour with small slightly off-white head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is yeast, caramel malts and some mild fruityness. Also some rubbery/metallic notes. Flavour is malty, quite caramelly and also giving some bitterness towards the finish. Aftertaste is quite grassy and a bit rubbery.

Sandels is a light yellow beer with a quite thin head. Aroma is light and malty but quite nice, also grass. The taste has malts, some bitterness that is quite smooth, some sweetness. Light bodied, medium carbonation. Sandels is not a special beer but positively, a smooth lager without mistakes.

Canned, thanks 0h6gdx! Fizzy pale golden, airy very brief head. Aroma of pineapple and maize. Sweet and thin with hard mouthfeel. No bitterness. Is Olvi secretly opposing Finnish independence, or why did they make such a lousy beer for the celebration?

Can 0,33l. Golden colored with a creamy white head lasting for a few minutes. Aroma of malt with fruity hints. Unvaried and not too pleasant sweet flavor. No bitterness.
