CAN: 50cl. Aluminum. Best before: 04/10/15. Generic label design. Standard pull-tab.
Reviewed live as a dark lager per the label. Served cold into a mason jar at low altitude in Kuopio, Finland. Expectations are low given the brewery.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
APPEARANCE: Pours an off-white head of nice frothiness and decent foam, which retains well (for ~5-6 minutes) and leaves no lacing as it recedes. Body colour is a clear translucent amber-copper of average vibrance. Clean, with no visible yeast or hop sediment.
Appears well-carbonated. Not unique or special for a dark lager.
AROMA: Off-notes redolent of sourness and spoiled cream, with some off-putting cooked vegetables. Quite unappealing.
Aromatic intensity is average.
I find no hop notes, yeast, or even malts.
TASTE: Munich malts, off-putting cooked vegetables, a handful of generic floral hops. That's it, unless you count metallic off-flavours.
Simple, shallow, plain, unbalanced. Why brew this?
No hop profile, no overt yeast notes, no booze.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, overcarbonated, unrefreshing, medium-bodied.
Doesn't elevate the beer as a whole. There's a correspondence between texture and taste, but no specific notes are accentuated.
OVERALL: Not a gestalt beer. It's a subpar dark lager riddled with off-notes and has a pathetic lack of depth coupled with painful simplicity. No nuance or intricacy at all. I'll finish the can without issue, but I'd caution friends from trying it. More mediocrity from Niokian Panimo - which is increasingly seeming to me to be one of Finland's worst breweries. Drinkable enough, I suppose, but I'd actually prefer a more neutral (read: insipid) Finnish pale lager.
To its credit, though, it's not boozy, watery, or sharp (in its overcarbonation).
