Commercial Description:
Saku Kuld - the most brilliant brew of Estonia's oldest brewery, the crème de la crème of beers. A masterpiece combining the brewing traditions of two centuries with the newest technology. It's rich bouquet combines the robustness of Nordic barley malt and the velvety taste of aroma hop from sunny Hallertau.

This was actually quite a nice surprise. A tad sweet, malty and full. Definately packs a lot more taste than a basic pale lager from this region.

50 cl can from a Finnish grocery store. Rather malty beer, but it is nothing above the ordinary. Some hops add al little, but there is not enough dryness to make up for the malty sugar. No need for all the colourful boasts on the can!

50cl can. Golden colour with a retentive white head; honey aroma; sweet, honeyed taste; clean refreshing slightly bitter finish. Much, much better than Saku Originaal.

(Canned) Clear, paleish golden with a medium, foamy head. Clean aroma of sweetish, lemony-corny malt with hints of honey. Not metallic like the regular Kuld. Sweetish, mildly honeyish-malty flavor with lemon-grassy notes and medium bitterness. Light to medium-bodied with a bit sharp carbonation - still easy to drink, as it’s not very acidic. In its class, Kuld is a quite successful attempt to combine the sweet-honeyish Eastern European lagers with the clean and tasteless ones of the Nordic countries. I believe this could gain popularity among the masses.

500 ml can, thanks to KnutAlbert. ABV is 4.5%. Normally the "export" version of a beer is stronger than the "ordinary" version, but in this case it is weaker! Crystal clear very pale golden colour, big white head. Moderate fruity aroma, citrus and candy. Light bodied, thin mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and sugary, with minimal hops. Not much to write home about here - nor to export.

Sweetish malty and a bit grassy aroma. Sweets malts, a bit grass and lemon in flavor. Thin mouthfeel.

I like this in some ways more than the normal kuld one, seems to be less harsh and that works with the honeyish sweetness. Quite boring but drinkable.

500ml Can - Pale golden in colour with a large white head. Malty and grassy aroma with a hint of lemon and a slight sweetness. Clean tasting with more malt and some grassy hops featuring with a lemon hint and a malty and mildly sweet finish.
