COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Saku Kuld – a modern classic, the absolute elite of Estonian beers, a combination of Saku’s hundreds-of-years-old brewing traditions, and the newest technology. With a rich taste, foam, and aroma, a delicate balance of freshness and mildness characterizes the taste of Saku Kuld. The freshness comes from Nordic oat malt and velvety smoothness is added to the refined bouquet by Hallertau hops. In addition, Saku Kuld is characterized by a clear colour and thick firm foam. Saku Kuld is sold in unique bottles with a relief of the Saku arms.

DruncanVeasey (4794) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - MAR 1, 2011
Draught, Hell Hunt, Tallinn. Pale dusty yellow with a slim head and determined lacing. Sour, rubbery aroma. Taste has suggestions of herbal hop, metal (coins), rubber glove, Jacob’s cream crackers. Just not mad about this style of sourish, sulphurous, quite probably adjunct-laden Baltic lager.

anders37 (9280) - Malmö, SWEDEN - FEB 26, 2011
Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small longlasting white head. Has a fruity grainy and slightly metallic aroma. Sweetish fruity grainy flavor. Has a sweetish fruity grainy finish with some weak hints of bitterness in the aftertaste.

mzaar (345) - Varberg, SWEDEN - NOV 30, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2011 Drack denna första gången på flaska köpt på Systembolaget och gav ölen ett rätt lågt betyg. Drack den på plats i Tallinn i helgen och upptäckte att den förtjänar ett högre betyg: Säd i doften. Koriander och citrus i smaken, som är disktinkt och ovanligt kraftfull för att vara en lager-öl. Intre det minsta dum faktiskt.

RuneStumo (1381) - FØRRESFJORDEN, NORWAY - NOV 19, 2010
19.11.2010, 0,5l Bottle. Pale yellow colour with thick white head. Weak malty aroma with fizzy carbonation. Very low on malteyness. Some bitterness, mostly aroma hops with low bitterness. There is more taste and flavour in the carbonation then in the hopping.

suurjuust (248) - Tartu, ESTONIA - NOV 15, 2010
Very pale yellow, medium head, some lacing. Grassy, hoppy nose with hints of spice. Thin, watery body, some malts, some hops... The usual. This could be above your average run-of-the-mill lager, if they added more body. But right now it’s just ...inoffensive.

stouby (2721) - Holbæk, DENMARK - OCT 17, 2010
Bottle at home. Golden with a small, white head. Aroma moderate malty (caramel), light to moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter. . Medium body.

wunderbier (1434) - Tampere, FINLAND - AUG 27, 2010
from old notes Sticky cream head and deep, clear yellow hue. Slick maize and cereal malts surround fragile herbal hops. Cereal sweets parried by light salts then into a damp menthol and rosemary finish. Building stickiness despite the bustling carbonation and restrained body.

Sullied by DMS-conjured maize and an unattractive salinity.

50 cl bottle, best before 03 September 2008.

500 ml bottle. The bottle is beautiful but it doesn’t make the beer taste better. It’s corny sweet, fruity, buttery and metallic with lots of carbonbation, not very hoppy. I wonder if it is better on tap.
