Can’t argue with the taste--like a good Mexican beer with the fruit already in. Symplicity and well-matched citrus tang with sweetish malt. Nothing uber-complex but it does what it does well.

Fit nicely to Tex-Mex food. Lemon flavor was not too clear, but just perfectly balanced to the malty flavor.

Bottle. Clear light golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of lemonade and malt. Malty taste. Watery.

330ml bottle (Prisma, Tallinn)
Smells of toilet-cube of floor-cleaner lemon. Pale, and in a clear glass bottle. Fizzy to, there’s a surprise. Awful pissy lager base. Very watery, a little minerally and dirty, fair kick of toilet cube again. Finish is rotten vegetables, some peas/pulses. Really really dire.

Bottled 330ml (Stockmann Tallinn, BB 11/2012)
Clear yellow color, small white head. Grainy, papery aroma with notes of artifical lime. Light bodied. Grainy and soapy. Some bitter artifical lemon in the flavor. Nice, Corona with lime already mixed in,

At first in Estonian: "näeb välja nagu kuseproov". 0,33L bottle, ugly yellow body, artificial lemon aroma, watery lemon taste. Why?

Pale yellow, white head that quickly dissipates. Nose is vague grains and artificial lemon. Taste is papery malts and fake lemon, which is not as bad an imitation as I expected, but that doesn’t mean it’s any good. Not touching this stuff again.

330ml bottle. Clear yellow color. No head to mention it. Fizzy, citrus in aroma. Same flavor. Surprisingly not as sweet as I expected.

Clear glass bottle. Pale golden body, minimal head. Weak aroma with some lemon air freshener. Watery taste with some lemon, which is not sweet and juicy but kind of metallic. Something for the "nightclub segment".
