Ohhhh not so good. Poured with a large foamy frothy head that soon turned sudsy before leaving a little on top which is resupplied by giant gas bubbles. Color is a clear golden amber with large bubble trails. Aroma was about the best thing - beery, a little hop and malt. Flavor is bland sweet with a bit of malt, no hop and lots of carbonic tang. Body is there; it's denser than water and carbonation is very aggresive. Finish is like flavor and I'm going to smoke my pipe to get the taste out.

Serving type: can

On a summer tour of Helsinki we found ourselves in one of the supermarkets in Kallio (the mean neighbourhood downtown) buying this- i won't lie- to get hammered.

Karjala is a sub-par beer. it's a macro if there ever was any. It's like tasting Karhu III all over again. there's no magic to this product, it's just 'Beer' labelled beer. blah. don't drink it.

Serving type: bottle
