COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Saku's oldest beer.
Saku Hele is a light special brew with a strong taste of hops and a pleasant aroma, which has been developed together with Czech master brewers. Saku Hele is brewed according to one of Saku’s oldest recipes in honour of Valerian Baggo, the lord of Saku Manor, who established a truly industrial brewery from the manor’s small brewery.

suurjuust (245) - Tartu, ESTONIA - NOV 18, 2010
Pale golden yellow, medium head. Nose is moldy malts, some hoppy notes. The taste is sweet malts, dust and yeast notes. The finish is hoppy and yeasty. One of Saku’s better offerings.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - NOV 16, 2010
Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear yellow, small head. Light grassy nose with some buttery slim malt behind. Clean, rounded mouthfeel. A mere hint of boiled vegetables, surprisingly evident spicy bitterness. A step above most of Saku’s truly industrial products.

Rune (4667) - Tromsø, NORWAY - NOV 2, 2010
500ml bottle, by courtesy of Finn. Straw-yellow body colour. See-through white head. Sweet citric hops plus malts to the nose. Sweet corn and hops in flavour followed by a short lived spiced bitter finish. Foamy in the mouth. Quite alright with the food (shared with frau Eva, Tromsø 23.10.2010).

Hermod (1476) - Vantaa, FINLAND - OCT 3, 2010
50cl bottle from Alko. Poured pale golden color with a soapy fastly fading white head. Aroma is malt and grass with hint of sweetness to it. Flavour is similar as aroma, with some hops detected as well, giving it some bitterness. Drinkable. Could well drink this one again

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 30, 2010
500 ml bottle. Rated @ 17.7.2010.
Pours a golden colour with a small but thick head. Fades quickly. Stuffy on the nose with grass and diacetyl notes. Refreshing flavour of mild sweet malts and some hops. Mild dry finish. High carbonation. Works as a summer brew.

Finn (2459) - Tromsø, NORWAY - SEP 21, 2010
Flaske 0,5l. Veldig lys gylden på farge. Høyt luftig skum som varer lenge og etterlater filigranser på glasset. Aromaen er metallisk med antydning til malt. Myk smak. Lite kullsyre. Brukbar fylde. Syrlig maltig smak med en skarp syrlig bitterhet. Tørr avslutning.

thirstyrabbit (478) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - AUG 16, 2010
Bottle. In fact, the bottle I’m holding is only 10 days old. Pours pale yellow with a small head. I can detect some hops in the aroma. Tastes malty and grassy but the taste is weak and mouthfeel is watery. I remember this beer actually had a decent taste some years ago.
