Olvi Export presents as a quintessential International Pale Lager, defined by its bright clarity and refreshing character. The use of premium Finnish malts provides a clean, grainy-sweet foundation with subtle bready undertones. Selected Bavarian hops introduce a delicate layer of floral and herbal aromatics, which balance the moderate bitterness. Despite its light-bodied nature, the 5.2% ABV offers a structural strength that remains crisp on the palate. A subtle, fresh fruitiness nuances the clean fermentation profile, leading into a dry, well-attenuated finish that invites another sip, honoring its heritage as a gold-medal-winning export lager from Finland.
Appearance.3-5 SRM. Deep straw to pale gold color. Brilliant clarity. Features a white, frothy head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate-low intensity. Clean, grainy-malty aroma with hints of white bread and a slight corn-like sweetness. Low but distinct floral and herbal hop notes from the Bavarian hops. Fermentation is clean, free of significant esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression is crisp and refreshing. Grainy malt flavor dominates with a light crackery quality. Medium-low bitterness provides balance without being sharp. Hop flavor is low, showing floral and spicy herbal notes. The finish is clean, dry, and highly attenuated, with a neutral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body. High carbonation provides a lively, scrubbing bubbles effect and a slight carbonic bite. Smooth, with no perceptible astringency and very well-integrated alcohol.
