Beer review: Laitilan Kukko Pils (4.5% Finland: Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas)


The Laitilan Kukko Pils is a pilsner brewed by Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas, a medium-sized Finnish brewery mainly focused on soda manufacturing. The company was founded in 1995 and is currently the fourth largest brewery in Finland. The beer is available in Finnish supermarkets and is one of the few pilsners produced by the large Finnish breweries. Apparently there isn't a large demand for pilsners in Finland, but let's see if the Laitilan Kukko Pils is good enough to satisfy the needs of pilsner lovers.

Taste: The Laitilan Kukko Pils is a light/medium-bodied beer with a slightly sweet malt dominated aroma. It starts with a slight citrus aroma, then offers a sweet malt body with some metallic bitterness and the beer finishes with a slight herbal hoppiness.

Overall, the Laitilan Kukko Pils is a really decent beer. I hate to admit, but in my honest opinion it's one of the worst beers available in Finland. It offers the aromas characteristic for a pilsener, but it fails to offer any of them in a pleasant way. The overall impression of the beer is a metallic, bitter sourness and it's quite far from the aromas that I like in a pilsner.
