‘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.

Pale Clear Yellow Color, Small Head, Light Lacing. Light Grainy Aroma. Corn, Light Malt, Slightly Sweet, Sour Note, Light Bitter at the End. Over carbonated, on watery side body. Standard Euro Pale Lager. Nothing interesting or special besides the shape of bottle.Drinkable but one was enough for me. Moving onto something better... Pass It...

33 cl bottle in it’s peculiar shape. Bright light yellow color, lear, small white head. Faint notes of corn, fruits, banana on the nose. Grainy, sweet malts, some grassy hops. Not very palatable, undefined finish. Carbonated, oily texture, light body. Average lager.

Bottle during a night out in Manchester. The unusualness of the bottle is the only real thing of note. It’s a very average international pale lager, cooling on a hot Manchester night, pale gold colour, medium white head, grassy...

Small shortlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, light malts, sugar, caramel, hay. Taste is sweet, light malts, hay, caramel, sugar. Medium bitterness. Easy drinking, but as boring as it gets.

One of the fluffiest heads I’ve seen on a pale lager. two to three fingers high, pale golden with fine carbonation. Aroma and taste are mildly malt with some citrus notes. Not much lasting flavor, but a very decent lighter beer.
