very light pale yellow. smal white head. aroma is grainy, and sweet corn. Flavour is that sickly sweet corny, vegetable you get from a bad lager. In the finish there is some slight malt, and a decent crsipness to it. pretty dismal overall.

jacobwennbom (316) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - JUL 12, 2007
Quite extraordinary bad pale lager. Heavely unbalanced with loads of sweetish boiled vegetables in both taste and aroma. Add a stinging alcoholic sensation and you have Saku Originaal, probably not the best beer in the world.

Light, thin and watery. Uninteresting lager, while not having a directly bad taste. A little grainy finish.

3fourths (6218) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUN 28, 2007
Country-whoring Estonia. 500ml bottle. Stinky sweet corn and ashtray nose. Wet and sticky and a little crisp up front, more dusty and sweaty corn and fuesal alcohol over the middle and into the finish. Blah.

RichardGretton (3711) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JUN 26, 2007
Draught in Estonia. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is yeasty and dry and the flavour is wheaty, dry, lightly yeasty and watery. Overall a reasonable refreshing beer.

Draught in Estonia. Not much that differintiates the "Originaal" from the Saku Kuld except that the Kuld is a bit more refreshing because of a slight fruit taste. Go with the Kuld.

50cl can. Looks like the average Euro-lager - straw colour, white head; smells like the average Euro-lager - industirally processed malt; tastes slightly better than the average Euro-lager, quite well-bodied, with corn-syrup sweetness and a balancing hoppy finish. Overall, we can now welcome Estonia to Euro-averageness.

Bottle. Reminds me why I stopped buying imported lagers (well, lagers in general, but I especially dislike paying import prices for them). Pale golden color. Aroma is dominated by corn. The finish is when the hops start to come through with a slight bitterness.
