Great Beer from Estonia! Love the look of the bottle. We have it in USA in 0,3l bottles, perfect for me! One thing tough: never, ever drink it warm!!! Always has to be ice cold.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2008 The production date on my bottle says it was made only two weeks ago. For an import to be that fresh from the LCBO is insane! Pours the nice gold colour with a large, frothy white head. Aroma: Some grassy hops on top of some grainy malts, not much going on, but nothing offensive. Taste: Not half as bad as the low rating will make you think. Nice malty sweetness up front, a tad grainy which I love in my lagers, which leaves a sort of wet feeling on the tongue, followed by some hop presence in the finish, followed by just a touch of skunk. I can’t believe my luck that I got a fresh sample, so I guess this is pretty much as good as this beer can be. And it’s pretty decent. It’s nothing spectacular, so give it a freaking break people, it’s just a lager, nothing more. I’m sure there’s better from Estonia, but this does seem to be getting a rough ride here. EDIT The new canned version is actually really, really good, a big improvement. Very soft, like a Helles, with a perfect blend of pale malts and hops, with a great floral aroma.

Golden colour. High, dense and lasting head.
Strong, mainly hoppy aroma.
The maltiness is stronger than hoppiness, the bitterness is quite weak. Full-bodied.

Bottled on Jan 18 2006. This poured a clear, light gold along with a whacking great foamy white head. The hopping was evident from the instant the cap came off. Taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste were typical of a better-quality Euro-lagers. This was a nice beer to drink and I’d have it again.

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.

på flaske i Tallin - flott gylden farge og høyt skum :-) - lukter friskt med godt innslag av humle - smaken er overraskende fyldig og rund, ikke for søt - velbalansert og bra kullsyre

Bottle. Poured a light yellow color with barely any head or lacing. It had a malty, buttery, caramel nose and taste. It had a sweet lingering finish with barely any hop presence at all. I'm not sure why, but the style here is listed as an American Standard, but the label states that is is a Pilsner! I'd consider it a Pilsner, since the manufacturer should know what he is making, and it tastes somewhat like a Pilsner.

Nice, regular lager, different taste than the rest of the baltics but similar to Lapin. easy to drink and enjoy with friends.
