500ml Can - Orange in colour, like Irn Bru or Lucozade. Sweet aroma with hints cranberry, pink grapefruit and sweets. Sweet, syrupy and sickly taste with hints of grapefruit. Like a diluted Lucozade. Repulsive.

Can. The same drink, but produced in Estonia by A. Le Coq. Light copper body. Tall fluffy head. Candy-sweet aroma of lime. Sweet fruity taste with a citric edge. The aftertaste has some light maltiness. An OK radler for a hot day like today. Maybe the latvians screwed up (see the atrocious first reviews) because this Estonian version seems pretty drinkable to me.

Thanks Kairit! Clear peach orange color, no head. Soapy cranberry-passion fruit aroma. Light body, watery palate. Quite typical radler. Sweetish artifical strawberry-passion fruity flavor, crisp carbonation. Short sweetish finish. More like a soda pop, but not horrible as such.

(0.5 l can, thank you SaintMatty but you couldn’t beat FatPhil & Anna - yet) The "beer" poured golden and clear. Its head was small and fizzy. The very artificial aroma had berry juice and some lemon like side notes. Palate was light bodied with quite high carbonation. Flavours were some sweetener, berries and mildly someting lemon like. Quite horrible indeed. FatPhil’s rating says it all.

500ml can (Prisma, Tallinn) - I hate you SaintMatty! :-D
Pale orange, fizzy. Sweet fizzy childrens sweets aroma. Why the heck am I wasting time typing this review, this is just shitty beer mixed with shitty chemically-doped lemonade. Fizzy sweet crap. If I ever meet anyone involved in either brewing or marketting this from A le Coq or Cesu, I’m going to spend my next night in a police cell.
