Can (BB 09/2009). Clear copper color, small off-white head. Weak nose is bready and caramelly, but also has some iron in it. After it warms up, leather and fruits. Quite fizzy. Watery palate. Very hard to catch any real flavors ... soft fudge, some maltyness, very light hops. Soft, clean, unoffensive and boring like the most Olvi brews, but I could imagine to drink this with salty food or after sauna.
