1.6 Clear golden colour. Sweet grainy malty aroma, notes of grassy hops, herbs, cardboard, bread and metal. Mouthfeel is nicely full, not watery at all.

3.4 Regular choice,alcohol, golden, clear, frothy, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body,

2.9 33cl bottle purchased @ Mille et une bières Cormontreuil. Lager très classique.

2.0 Bottle in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Watherish lager, pretty common beer, nothing to add

2.5 Bottle from Systembolaget (4,5%). Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is somewhat sweet and malty. Taste is rather watery but with some sweetnes.

2.0 50cl can. Sweet but otherwise boring odour. Taste is waterish but not metallic. Nothing special.

2.2 Classic lager aroma. Weak. Pours clear golden with white head. Taste is weak, Watery with pale malts and corn. Crisp and well carbonated. Watery mouthfeel. The beer is what you’d expect in a mass produced lager; weak taste and aroma but freaking fresh and carbonated.

2.1 Clear golden beer with minimal white head. Aroma is malty and grains. Taste is watery, light malty. Light body. Refreshing beer for hot summer day.

2.1 Smell of starch, paper, some malt and hops. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of hops, paper, starch. Surprisingly pure flavour, albeit very light body and one-dimensional. Lightly bitter, medium carbon. Half watery palate.

2.1 Clear golden color with medium and rapidly disappearing white head. Aroma: malt Taste: watery and bitter

1.5 Acheter à auchan grande synthe. Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur dorée d’une lager. Belle bulles. Petit col de mousse simple. Au nez : une lager pas d’intérêt, céréales et malts. En bouche : c’est très aqueux ! Pas de longueur, rafraîchissement garanti rien de plus. Il y a bien meilleur en lager . Pas d’arrière bouche rien très très fade.

2.4 50 cl can. Clear, golden, thin white head, low to medium carbonation, nice lacing. Pilsner malt aroma. Mouthfeel is smooth and a bit dry, low carbonation and bitterness. Flavours follows the aroma, pilsner malt is dominating. Refreshing, but that’s all.

3.9 (Draught) Clear yellow colour. Small head with limited retention. Caramelly, pilsenery malt very prominent. Nothing original or outstanding here but well executed and exceeded expectations.

2.4 Lata. Clear yellow, bubbly short head. Grainy aroma. Grainy flavour, lightly sweet, lightly malty and short bitterness just in the end.

2.5 500ml can. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is bready and grainy. Taste is slightly sweet, malt, bread. Not bad.

3.5 33cl bottle and 5.2% volume, sold in Italy from Amazon. Good lager, golden color, frothy white head and i should say medium light body

3.0 I bought this beer at the beer of the world in Geneva and I drank on the train to go back at home. In my point of view, it is an average lager, not the worst that I try in my life. The taste is particulary malty, bready, herbal side but there is relatively few hop, a bit metalic and watery, thin foam and gold body, ok during the summer.

2.6 Directly from can. Vague bready malts and spicy hops on nose. Light body. Extremely clean taste. Bready and spicy. Light bitterness. How do they do it. Why do they do it?

2.4 Can @ Omenahotelli. Pale golden, white head. Grainy, malty aroma. Cardboard, grains in the flavor.

2.4 Can. Pours clear rich yellow with medium sized foamy white head, malt aroma, high carbonation, slightly sweet malt taste, thin body, abrupt finish. Generic lager.

0.9 Just overall bad macro lager. Weak grassy hops that almost smell like piss. Some malts on the taste with basic cardboard feel. Too watery. Even in Finland there are many better macro lagers...

2.1 50 cl can from COOP Obs! Hypermarked. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas of malty grains. Taste is sweet. Pretty average beer.

2.1 Quickly vanishing head corn cardboard taste typical euro macro lager not much else to add.

2.1 33 cl bottle. Clear yellow with a medium white head. Light malty aroma of bread, hay and lageryeast. Taste reflects the aroma. Light bodied, with a lightly sweet texture. Average carbonation. Low bitterness.

2.6 One of the better "bulky" lagers in Finland. There is nothing offensive, though nothing particularly memorable either. Malty aroma. Taste of hops.

2.4 Kirkas kullankeltainen olut pienellä, osin säilyvällä vaahdolla. Tuoksu makeahkon maltainen ja ruohoisesti humaloitu. Maku maltainen ja pehmeä, hieman katkera loppupuolelta ja aavistus humalan aromiakin jälkimaussa. Bulkkilagereiden parhaimmistoa.

2.0 Can. Aroma is grass and sweet malt. Taste is the same but includes minerals and some spices. A watery and pretty standard pale lager.

1.9 Can. Pours clear golden with low head. Aroma is sweet malts, corn. Taste is light, some sweet malts, lightly bitter, some herbs.

2.0 Can in Orivesi, Finland, Malt,hay,cereal and light dusty hop aroma, Clear pale yellow, smaller head, Sweeter taste, light bitter ending, Light body, Average carbon, Not a good one.

1.9 Aroma: lauku kleets, sastavejies slapjs iesals,karamele. Garsa: pliekans karamelizets suutiigs
