Bready cracker, semi sweet malt. DMS. A watery euro lager. I’ve had worse.

Review: 50cl, can of Lapin Kulta: 5.2% vol.

My first beer tryout from Finland. The beer uses an original recipe that dates back more than 140 years ago and brewed from the icy water of Lapland, this should be interesting!

The information on the can makes the beer sound epic! “The golden beer of Lapland. Lapin kulta is a creation of the rugged terrain of Finnish Lapland. Finland’s premium lager comes from the purest spring water filtered naturally on its journey through a land formed by the ice age. Golden barely and pristine water are brewed together according to tradition to produce the true gold of Lapland”

“Full malts” on the can, good. Can is also interesting in its design, looks more like an energy drink for sale than a beer.

On pour I get a very nice frothy white head with a clear golden colour. Head has a good size, and maintains well.

Good bit of lacing too. Looks very good, nice and clear

A nice clean aroma from the beer, has a typical lagery smell, grainy, wheaty, sweet and malty, Overall it is a nice lovely light smell.

Getting nice and creamy tastes at the start, also a good bit of malt.

Also getting some floral hops in the taste that were a little bit too sweet, kind of giving it a soapy taste, which wasn’t terrible just a little strange!

It is a very light tasting beer, but not like a standard lager.

Very soft n crisp.

Second can was served cold from fridge, not as nice. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but it killed the taste and I got a general blandness to it all. Hops not really noticeable, very light bitter and all thin in the taste.

Overall it did go down the hatch easy enough, solid and drinkable, but nothing amazing. I think I’d like to give it another try…………

This is slightly dark for a pale lager, and head leaves lots of lacework on the glass. Aroma is weak, but taste is lively and snappy, but not lingering. Taste almost reminds me of a ginger ale...

Lapin Kulta looks absolutely beautiful, but it tastes like a liquefied toaster. Barely drinkable.

With that said, it is a macro-lager which is brave enough to be different while remaining popular within Scandinavia. Personally I'm going to avoid this as best as I can, and would prefer a Bud Light over it. But (for better and, I would argue, for worse) it's more interesting than the American macro lagers.
