Canned. Golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is maize, malts, and some grains. Flavour is mild malts, maize and slight hoppyness. Really watery and blend, aftertaste is slightly parfumeish. A shame that 90 year old Finland gets a "jubilee" beer as shit as this.

300ml bottle. Yet another Finnish pale lager; looks the same as the rest; malty aroma; sweet malty flavour; nothing going for it at all.

Medium white head. Copper body. Sweetish malty aroma with notes of yeast and rubber. Sweetish caramelly malt taste with metallic notes. Very clean palate. Dry, faintly roasty caramelly malt aftertaste. An OK lager, but nothing special. (0.33l can.)

Big coarse offwhite head shrinks quickly. Body is beautiful copper. Roasty, caramelly oily aroma with notes of nuts and alcohol. Deep, sweet, roasty caramel taste with alcoholic notes. Very clean taste and mouthfeel. Dryish roasty caramel aftertaste leaves kind of dry medicinal feeling. Quite good. (0.33l bottle. Got to love the Finnish sound system: tuplapukki = doublebock.)

Nice dark copper brown beer. Light flavour and aftertaste. Nothing disturbing flavours. But otherwise not very interesting.

[bottled] Golden colour, weak head. Aroma is sour malt and corn. Thin and fizzy with a hard mouth feel. Despite the low ABV the taste of alcohol shows up in the finish. Crap-lager.
