Truncated review from a 50cl orange can purchased at a supermarket:
A: Off-white head with average characteristics. Retention is ~2 minutes. Leaves no lacing as it recedes.
Body colour is a clear copper of average vibrance.
Atypical of the style, and unremarkable. Suggests a mediocre steam beer.
Sm: Pilsner malts, a clean yeast profile, mild generic floral hop character, cheap malt syrup. Crystal malts.
Aromatic intensity is average.
T: Subpar. Simple and shallow. Munich malts, crystal malts, generic floral hop character. Unbalanced, with an unremarkable mediocre build. Why brew this?
Mf: Smooth, wet, sticky, artificial, a biteen syrupy, and overly thick and hefty for the style. Overcarbonated.
O: Not a gestalt build. There's no harmony of texture and taste. This isn't the only steam beer on the domestic Finnish market, but it's probably the worst. Poor work from one of Finland's best breweries, but drinkable, sure.
Low C- (2.56)

Completely "meh" in spirit of mainstream Finnish beers.
