UPDATED: JUN 26, 2012 500ml bottle.
Horrifically pale yellow, frothy head. Dusty aroma. Some harsh saccharine taste. Vague semblance of lager in there somewhere, but it’s also alcoholic. Not good.
Rerate: 500ml bottle - test to see if it’s the same as the most recent Volfas Engelman from Lithuania
Compared to V.E. it’s got no head, is paler, has egginess in aroma, waterier palate. Conclusion - definitely an unrelated beer. The V.E. was bad, but this is very bad. No incentive to change the score, perhaps 3 is too low for overally, but I could drop the palate to 1 as this is so watery. Let’s just stay with what I had.

It’s OK for a bulk beer with a great name. too much carbonated and pale in every aspect.

500ml Bottle- Golden coloured with a white head. The aroma is grassy with a very subtle hoppiness and hint of citrus. The taste is malty and pleasant to drink but it is all a bit too boring.

bottle. Clear pale yellow, meidum-size head. Malty with grassy hops and a rather dry mouthfeel. Well balanced, not too sweet, medium carbonation which produces a pleasant mouthfeel. My first beer from Estonia.

Bottled 0,5L. Pale yellow color, medium head. Grassy aroma .Flavor is more malty. In aftertaste feel some hoppy tones, but it is not long aftertaste. I prefer less carbonated beers.

(50 cl bottle brought home from Estonia by a friend) Clear pale straw yellow color, white head. Grainy, malty and a bit acidic scent. Sweet malty acisic taste, sweet aftertaste. Thin spritzy moutfheel. Low bitterness.

(500 ml bottle) Weak hoppy aroma, really pale appearance. A bit sturdy and biting flavor, not so watery as you would think. Nice baltic light lager.

bottle at olletorn in tallinn. golden with a brief head. pretty bland, some apple peel bitterness and pear schnapps and a tinny finish

Bottled - A lime greenish coloured beer with a whitish short-lived head. The aroma is thin, watery and undistinguished. The taste is crisp and clean but thin, bland short and watery. Dull in extremis.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Light malty and moderate hoppy aroma. Light acetic and bitter flavor. Short finish. Very watery palate.
