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.

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!
