Täyteläinen ja tumma täysmallaslager, jonka maussa on runsasta maltaisuutta ja tasapainoinen humalointi. Saatavilla myös K-Ruokakaupoista ja S-kaupoista.

Helsinki 24/5 2016. 33 cl bottle from S-Market. Kinda strange bottle that looks like miniscule Wine bottle. Something that looks like crossed drumsticks or magician wands on the label.

Pours opaque dark brown with a light beige head. Stable. Settles as thin patchy layer of foam. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is very sweet and sugary. Some burn malts and dried sweet fruit in there. Bready. Some sour notes that reminds me of the smell of a dirty Eraser at the end of a pencil.

Soft carbonation and slightly thick palate. Lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is overwhelmingly sweet and too much for my tastebuds. Some very strange aftertaste with a medium bitter edge.

This is not for me!

This is as far as i know my first Finnish beer. Brought from Sweden by my collegue Diana. Thanks for that.

This is one strange brew. Poured in my Struise glass this beer looks normal. Darker than normal teacolour. Small head, broken white which leaves a ring in the glass after a while.

This is one of the thinnest beers i have ever had. With very nuch imagination you could think they wanted to make their first stout. Very far away some malty taste but too waek to impress.

If this is standard for Finland they will have a long way to go....
