Olvi III, is the signature beer of Olvi, one of the major beer manufactures in Finland. It is a lager, more specifically a Pale Lager and it's one of the 'basic beers' of Finland. Made from Finnish malt and Bavarian hop, the beer has received international recognition, winning the gold medal in Barcelona in 1991. It's produced in bulk quantities so one can't expect a mind-blowing experience. In my opinion, when comparing it to other basic beers of Finland, it definitely isn't the worst, though not the best either.
Taste: Similar to all of the Finnish 'basic beers', Olvi offers a medium-bodied malt-dominant flavor. What sets it apart from the others is the faintly sweeter and softer malt flavor. The beer ends with a hint of bitter hop and leaves almost a metallic bitterness behind.
Overall, Olvi III is one of the better choices (at least price-value-wise since it's often the cheapest one) if you ever end up in a Finnish supermarket. If you enjoy a stronger tasting beer, then maybe Karhu III is your choice but if you prefer smoothness and a cheap price, then Olvi III is for you. However, if you don't mind paying a bit more I would recommend Sandels, the premium lager by the Olvi company.
