Can 500ml (S-Market Pori)
Golden colour, a bit cloudy and steady white head. Oddly worty, sweetish aroma. Light-bodied. Piney, resiny notes but a bit restless and weak. Neh.

Can 500ml (S-Market Pori)
A bit cloudy golden colour, mid-sized white head. Aroma has light danky resin like in Comet. Light to medium-bodied. Malty with resiny bitterness. Lingering resiny aftertaste. A bit empty backbone but quite solid Sauna beer. Certainly gains from its ABV (above the old grocery shop limit 5.5%)

A golden and slightly hazy beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has grapefruit, other citrus, light fructose. Taste has grapefruit, light fructose and pine, some bitterness. Medium bodied. Could be more fruitful and fresher. More balanced body than other beer of this series.

4/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
Can 500ml (S-Market Pori)
Golden colour, small white head. Sweetish, a bit honeyish nose even. Light-bodied. Sweet malty, very much typical Olvi/Sandels-like with alcoholic kick. Lacks maltyness for its ABV (and somewhat hops too). This is not full malt beer, sugar has been used. Sandels with booze.

A golden and slilghtly hazy beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has grapefruit, other some fruitness. Taste has grapefruit, pine, nice bitterness. Medium bodied. More fresh fruitness should be get out from hops. Pretty nice, anyway.
