That is what I would have suspected and I would imagine it isn't anymore - since China stopped buying it :D

Lapin Kulta is (diluted) reindeer piss. A friend of mine and I once did a blind test with six of the most popular pale lagers in Finland. He took the labels and caps away, marked the bottoms and put rubber caps on the bottles. After having them in the fridge long enough, we tasted them and made written notes. We then looked up which code was which beer, we compared notes. The results were clear. Karjala and Karhu had the best and equal scores out of the six. Koff and Lapin Kulta were the two losers.
But you never know because most people who drink beer are not actually beer drinkers. They don't like beer. They just want some cooled down and affordable mild alcoholic drink. Cider is much more expensive because its raw materials are much more expensive than grain. Potato is suitable for making vodka but not a fermented alcoholic drink. Mixing distilled alcohol with juice is a possibility but the retail sales of such drinks tends to be illegal because of the great appeal such drinks can have to minors. Also, beer is traditional.
Yep, it is terrible. Funny story - I am not a beer drinker (will have one occasionally if offered and I must) but with all the times I have been drunk in my life - Not once has it been on beer. Cider yes... I must be considered a snob by Persut. ;D
A friend did a taste teste on his bachelor weekend to choose the beer for the wedding. It was a lot of fun and Lapin Kulta didn't even get offered ...
I'm a beer drinker. My favourite styles depend on the weather. Wheat beer, Belgian or Dutch Witbier for the summer heat. Imperial stouts or barley wine for the dead of the winter. At other times, many styles are fine.
