‘Viru’ (pronounced ‘veer-roo’) is becoming a well known Baltic states’ beer export. Brewed in the university town of Tartu, Viru is packaged in a octahedral bottle designed over 100 years ago, and thought to be based on the churches and towers of old Tallinn, capital of Estonia.
Ingredients: Water (from one of Europe’s deepest wells); Malted Barley (Lithuanian); Sugar; Saaz Hops; Yeast.
Originally sold by Tartu as A. Le Coq Premium Extra. The beer was bought by Brand Independence Ltd in 2006 and renamed Viru. It is contract brewed by Tartu for Brand Independence Ltd.

Pours crystal pale golden with thick sticky white head. Low aroma is bread, iron filings, grapefruit. Light, watery, not too bitter. So-so.

300ml bottle, and what a unique bottle it is, love the octahedral shape! Unfortunately the lager inside is not as unique as the bottle, but still quite nice. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is malty, grassy. Flavour is also malty and a touch fruity. Not bad but expected better from the fancy bottle.

Pajiza muy clara de escasa espuma y menor cuerpo. Aroma plano, ligeramente malteado. En boca igualmente plana, y encima algo metálica. Sólo se salva la botella, realmente original. Lástima que no se beba.

Auch ich griff primär wegen der Flaschenform zu diesem Bier. Drinnen ist ein leichtes Lager, das nicht viel hergibt, aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht ist.

Clear golden, frothy white head. Malty, light cereal aroma and flavour. Bittersweet, smooth carb. Harmless.

Bottle, 0.30l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma is grassy, grainy, vegetably and papery. Taste starts with moderate sweet corn malt and honey, follows by grassy and grainy sourness, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is light bitter. Light body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Bottle is certainly its only strength...

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden, small white head, dissipates quickly with little lacing. Aroma is grain, grass, hay. Flavor follows, little sweetness, medium bitter, clean, clear of defects, refreshing. Light body, plenty of carbonation.

300 ml bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grass and malt. Slightly sweet flavour of malt and corn. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Thirst quenching, but just another boring lager.
