Canned. Golden colour mediumsized foamy white head which leaves some lace. Aroma is maize, malts, grass and mildly honeyish sweetness. Flavour is grainy, grassy, metallic, papery and mildly sweet malty with also some honeyish hints. Not refresing at all, rather dull and mouldy aftertaste.

Pirkka is the biggest grocery shop brand name in Finland. "Pirkka Lager" has been more like a joke among Finnish beer connoisseurs (as an example of fictional ACME brand), but now this joke is a reality.
Golden color, decent white head. Aroma is very papery or cardboardish as often is in these bulk lagers (indicating cheap ingredients?), also hints of rubber boots with corn sweetness. Flavor is watery malty with hints of metal. Some harshness and more metal in the aftertaste. Does not differ much from Finnish main bulk lagers.
