Can 0,5l. Pale golden colored. A rapidly disappearing white head. Hardly any aroma or taste. Sweet aftertaste. Disgusting.

Very dark beer with medium blond head. Aroma is slightly roasted and metallic. Flavour is roasted and dry. This needs more "kick" into body because now it is too light and water-like. I would like to give more points to my old korppi-friend, but I cannot do that... I’m sad.

33cl bottle. Gold with a loose white head; earthy aroma; full bodied but rather sweet; some bitterness on the finish. Well made but rather mediocre.

Bottle, shared by papsoe. Clear, a bit pale golden pour, under a small, off-white head. Malt, some sweetness and fruityness, as well as notes of hops and grass in the aroma. The flavor is grainy-sweet, with some fruityness and bitterness. Quite dry in the mouth. Grassy, hop-bitter finish. Drinkable but boring. (071006)

33cl Can- Golden in colour with large foamy head. Sweet, grassy aroma. Low carbonation and easy to drink but does not taste as strong as it is or have much flavour. Slight hint of citrus and pears in the taste. Quite sweet.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of oh6gdx. Clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and brewing cereal. Medium body with a lightly sticky sweetness of corn starch or whatever and a touch of cardboard. Very discreet bitterness. 061007

(50 cl can, thanks oh6gdx!) Clear dark brown color, fluffy tan head. Quite beautiful look. Sweet sugary malty and caramel scent. Sweet and grainy malty taste with roasted hints. Grainy, roasted and caramel aftertaste. Spritzy moutfheel, low bitterness.
