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.

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 (17478) - 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 (6125) - 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).
