Bottle via Rimi, Tallinn. Thin body, high carbonation. Lots of lightstruck - not sure how, but there is shitloads. Also some oxidation. Little else to be found here. It is tragic really.

50cl bottle from the supermarket in Tallinn. MJ 500. Estonian mate said that in college (20 years ago) this was in fact the hoppy go-to. What about now? Ok nose of Saaz-like hops. Herbal, lightly citrus, minerals, low malt and slightly cheesy grains. Clear pale gold with a low head. Sweet, bready malts, bit of honey, bready, lemon, spicy hops finish. Also pretty chalky. Rather bland overall, but has a rather good bitter and peppery finish. This would be completely neglected today,

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Clear golden color with a fine white head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Wort malty and herbal hoppy. Quite fresh and easy drinkable.

Bottle at depeche mode bar, Tallinn. Pours golden. Aroma is sweet, malt, corn, hops. Flavor follows the nose. Overall: ok at best, drinkable at worst. Various batches over 15+ years. In 2018 one of the best macro lager options.
