Synthetic beer? Sounds delicious. It has to cause cancer.

My favourite is Karhu. Too bad that it's the most expensive Finnish big brewery beer. On the hifi beers my favourite are Leffes.

My favourite is Karhu.

Karhu's too sweet. Tastes like shit. Unless you're already drunk. But as I said, all Finnish beer is piss poor.

If you think Karhu III is sweet then you probably love Karhu IVA. That has to be the sweetest beer on the planet. I believe they add honey in it.

Olvi IVA is ok on the stronger versions, although Olvi is considered Finnish Budweiser as the III version tastes like mineral water.

But as I said, all Finnish beer is piss poor.

Nah. It's not poor. It's just too middle class for demanding for-taste drinkers, so I wouldn't recommend Finnish beers for beer drinkers who seek luxury taste experience. Afterall the most important ingredient in beer for Finns is the alcohol. Hoho. Have you tasted any of the Finnish small brewery beers?

But what about the worst beer you have ever tasted? For me it has to be the excuse that is sold in bottles in Lidl. Easily the cheapest beer around and you can taste why. It's not tasteless like other cheap beers - It's much like the opposite. It tastes like the end of the world.

Juho. I had some great beer in the Kappeli on the Esplanade in Hki a few years ago. They had their own micro brewery back then. Dunno if they still do it. And one of my students' grandmothers made some wicked sahti, which I was delighted to be given a bottle of. I actually do like Finnish beer, but not kolmas. Has to be a IV. It's so ridiculous that you can't buy it in the shop. This country is a great place, but at times maddening.
