Yellow. Very thin, sourish, no bitterness. What the hell? .................

Olvi may be the best of the national Finnish breweries, but let's not go nuts. This beer has a touch more hop than one would expect from a mainstream lager.

For a mainstream lager, this has a relatively full body, and malty palate...

Olvi's pale lagers are better than either Hartwall's or Sinebrychoff's. For whatever that's worth.
