Pale lager color, small white head. Mild metallic, sweet and fruity aroma. Smooth, malty but watery, a bit harsh in the beginning. Soft aftertaste. Easy to drink and easy to forget.

This is no doppelbock. Copper colour. Lightly metallic caramel aroma. Very light body. Bland, save for strong alcohol notes and burn. Definitely shitty. Sugary. Evil.

Typical lager outlook. Grassy, skunked, a bit rubbery aroma. Carbonated, a bit malty mouthfeel. Oily and watery finish, very plain and thin, almost like drinking water - hops are non-existent.

Dark honey color, small white head. Nose has sweet fruits and corn. Sweet, harsh flavor with alcoholic kick. This is a real malt liquor. Even Olvi Tuplapukki with 8,5% ABV is better balanced.

Darkish lager color, white head, some lace. Light fruity nose. Very malty but watery, slightly bitter finish but finding hops is almost "mission impossible". Unoffensive, lame.

This is now called Olvi Tuplapukki (ex- Olvi Doppelbock)
Bottled (BB 11/2004)
Dark lager color - light amber with small white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, alcoholic and metallic. Sticky mouthfeel with burning alcohol, under that quite nice malty body, even some hops found. Leaves strong alcoholic aftertaste.

Typical lager color with lively CO2 and mostly vanishing white head. Strange soapy and woody aroma. Very watery - typical Olvi - mouthfeel with very weak maltiness. This one really tastes like a bulk lager.
