Purchased at a Sale supermarket in Kuopio, Finland earlier today.
BOTTLE: 1.25 litres. Brown plastic. Black plastic screw-off cap. Generic label design. Best before: 9/26/15.
Served chilled into a mason jar at low altitude in Kuopio. Expectations are low given the brewery and style. Reviewed live as a kalja/svagdricka (sub ~2.5-3% ABV beer) per the label.
25 kcal/100ml.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: Dissipates within 5 seconds, but as it fizzled out I thought I noted a grey colour and a pathetic weak thin consistency. Leaves no lacing on the sides of the glass.
BODY: Opaque dark brown-black. Some might find it akin to cola. I see no yeast or hop sediment.
Looks pretty underwhelming. Appears undercarbonated, and has no stand-out characteristics.
AROMA: Sassafras. Dark & schwarz malts. Bready malts and yeast. Malt syrup/black strap molasses. It's all pretty faint and reticent.
A seemingly soul-less aroma with no interesting notes at all. I find no hop profile, booze, or off-notes. Both the yeast profile and malts seem underwhelming.
Aromatic intensity is light. Suggests a shallow low ABV beer.
TASTE: Sassafras. Cola. The muted malt profile features faint reticent notes of bready malts, a kiss of molasses, schwarz malts, malt syrup, and maybe raisin. That's all there is to this beer.
As shallow, simple, and plain a brew as you'll find. More in line almost with a bread yeast homemade beer than a beer. Ester-free. Flavour duration and intensity are brief and low, respectively.
It's not insipid, but boy is it lacking in terms of flavour. There's nothing interesting going on here at all.
I find no hop notes, overt yeast, off-notes, or booze.
TEXTURE: As generic and underwhelming as the taste. Smooth, wet, unrefreshing, medium-bodied, oddly under-carbonated, and somewhat thin. Not too sticky, but it is a biteen syrupy. Has a sugary cola-esque teeth-rotting presence on the palate.
This mouthfeel doesn't elevate the beer as a whole. There's no harmony of texture and taste.
Not crisp, boozy, hot, gushed, astringent, harsh, rough, scratchy, or irritating.
OVERALL: A sigh of a low-ABV beer in line with other European oddities like kvass or Swedish svagdricka, this kalja delivers on the expectations of low quality lent by its 1.25 litre plastic bottle presentation. Not sure what market segment this is catering to or why. I wouldn't bother with it again, and would recommend friends avoid it. Unless you're a fiend for kalja, this will be underwhelming. Even Sinebrychoff has better beers.
