‘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.

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.

Bottle from Tesco. Estonian tick. Aroma is sweet grains, mineral, later soapy aromas persist. Crystal clear pale, yellow coloured with a fleeting frothy white head. Flavour is sweet cereal, some honey, light metalic. Some staling and some harsh fermentation by-products. Thin palate, high carbonation. Not Terrible.

First of all, compliments on the bottles. The content has a clear, golden color. The head is average with weak retention. The usual malty aroma dominates the nose. Nothing special. The taste is light, sweet and watery. No real bitterness present. Not even in the finish. Too bad. Still drinkable, but no real taste to it.

Pale golden in the glass with a white head. Aroma is smooth-neutral. The beer starts malty, not too grainy and interesting fruity. The mainpart is quite dry, malty-fruity, highly drinkable without being watery. The aftertaste is medium, a bit grainy and slightly sweet.
Nice beer! --> 8/12/8/8
