Sandels III, named after the famous Field Marshal Johan August Sandels, is the premium brand of Olvi, one of the major beer manufactures in Finland. It is a lager, more specifically a Pale Lager and it falls in the category of mid-priced beers, just a bit above the 'basic beers' of Finland. It's produced in bulk quantities so one can't expect a mind-blowing flavor festival. However, in my opinion, in the category of basic lagers, it is the best one in Finland.
Taste: Similar to all of the Finnish 'basic beers', Sandels offers a malt-dominant flavor which is quite mild. What sets it above the others is its smoothness and lack of unpleasant extra flavors. The beer ends with a hint of hop and leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth
Overall, Sandels III is the best choice (at least price-value-wise) 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, then choose Sandels.
