4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20Wow, what a surprisingly good lager. Absolutely the best Eastern European lagers I’ve ever tasted. Well filled malt flavor with a subtle and crispy aftertaste. 1 pint of pleasure.

56.8cl can. Pours clear pale yellow with a small, white head. Lightly malty aroma with some fruity notes and cooked vegetables. Moderate sweet without much flavour or bitterness. Thin and watery, but drinkable.

0,5L bottle. Little stronger hops and over carbonated. Watery and little alcohol taste.

From the archives: I have been drinking Alexander for 7 years when I was in Tartu. Lightly hoppy pale lager, with a decent carbonation. Does not look much, does not hold its head, but when extra cold, and drank from the bottle on a hot summer day... You get the point - drinkable pale lager. From recent years - quality fluctuates from batch to batch. Was a descent, stable taste before. When on sale - stay away from it.

Bottle. Pours golden with white head that disappears quickly. Both aroma and taste are a mixture of grassy hops and malt sweetness. Medium carbonation, quite watery body, but maybe a little thicker than most pale lagers. Decent enough for style, but nothing too spectacular either.

bardzo fajna pintowa butelka inna niż tu na zdjęciu (nie wiem czy to trwala zmiana czy jakaś jubileuszowa seria). Jednak w smaku to nie moja bajka, jakiś płaski smak, na końcu gorycz ale jakaś taka nie klasyczna ale śkwaśniała nie taka jaka powinna być. Raczej nie....

While it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not, this PL is a noticeable upgrade from most of its Estonian competition; cleaner taste, no detectable adjuncts, nice orange-y finish following up on some hop bitterness. The most easily sessionable EST brew I’ve seen.

50 cl, canned. Pours clear gold with a decent white head. Aroma: Pale malt, vanilla. Grass. Taste: Balanced medium sweetness, mild bitterness. Palate: Lightly bodied, quite thin. Noticeable, bit stingy carbonation. Refreshing nonetheless. Decent pale lager.

Appearance: The colour is pale yellow; the head is white and airy, some lacing. No curtains.
Taste: Tasting sweet white bread, corn flakes, some watery lemonade.
Palate: The carbonation is medium strong, watery and thin.

(Bottle). Vague aroma of malt and some grassy hops. The flavor is thin with a touch of light grainy malt and hops. Drinkable but very boring!
