Vary pale golden, small white head. The nose is mainly grain and corn, with some grass thrown in, Taste is grainy and sweet, the finish is sweet and sour. Body is very weak and watery, but it’s not offensive in any way, just really, really bland. Considering the price it’s OK, I suppose.

1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
50cl can, courtesy of and shared with Gnoff. Marked 4.8% abv.
Dorée claire, blanche.
Arôme de maïs, léger avec pointe de houblon tchèque le tout respire les extraits pour un nez qui est faible et inintéressant.
En bouche, douce, avec encore un usage intempestif de maïs et autres sucrose. Fini métallique, touche d’extraits de houblon et donnant une amertume faiblarde. Malt présent et ne rajoutant rien de spécial à cette bière ni au style.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
(can) Clear, golden colour with a short frothy white layer. Slightly strawy and sweet pale malty aroma. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly crisp carbonation. Straight pale malty taste with grainy accents; sweetish and slightly bitter and grassy hoppy finish. Flat but drinkable. 12.IV.11

Can: Deep golden, no head, visible carbonation; sweetish-grainy to strawy nose; mainly sweet flavour, quite soft, light bodied, almost a bit sticky; grainy-sweet finish; drinkable, flat, but nothing wrong with it......
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
500ml can (Araxes, Kalamaja)
Should really just do a cop-paste of whatever crap I wrote for the Estonian version of this beer. A le Coq something. Or the Latvian version under the Cesu name, or whatever. It’s just a simple clean lager, almost entirely based on the simple light milky grains. Hops minimal, only coming out in the very late finish, and even then they’re thin and papery. All the nastiness has been filtered out of this, but then again, so has most of the beer. Can’t be arsed to do a proper detailed review, as this isn’t a proper detailed beer.
