| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Plastic bottle. Deep golden colour with small white head. Aroma is sweet alcohol, some metallic notes as wll as butterscotch and some biscuits. Flavour has a rather nice malty body along with some caramel, grass and mild notes of metal. Alcohol shows as a slight burn in the finish. A positive surprise.

Pale, tiny head. Sour sweet lager aroma, heading towards gherkins. Full-bodied palate - sweet malts, a bit lactic. Some wet wool in the taste too, but fairly full bitter taste. Covers the 7% well. The only hint of the strength is a bitterness at the back of the mouth, but that’s hoppy bitterness rather than alcohol itself.
Rerate a few days later. Fresh bottle - dullish, but still pretty tasty.. Clean and drinkable. Definitely ESL not ML. TBone (6741), Pori, Finland

Slightly hazy yellow colot, small white head. Diacetylic, slightly sour nose. Very sweet flavor, almost caramelly, some grassy notes. Covers alcohol very well. "Best" of three Karksi beers.
