Saku Hele is brewed according to one of Saku’s oldest recipes in the honour of Valerian Baggo, the lord of Saku Manor. Saku Hele has been developed together with Czech brew masters and can therefore, as the only Estonian beer, be compared to the world famous Czech beers.
Saku Hele is brewed using clean spring water, malt, hops and Saku’s own yeast. Saku Hele is a light quality beer with a powerful hoppy taste and a pleasant aroma. Its refined character has been highly valued throughout the years.

500ml Bottle- Pale golden in colour with a rich and white foamy head. The aroma is not very powerful but a little bit of malt and lemon can be detected. The taste is malty with a little hoppy element and the lemon featuring again. I guess this is the Estonian equivalent of a hoppy beer but that doesn’t say too much.

A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is of brewmash and corn, while the flavor is sweet and sour both with notes of malt and corn, and also slight notes of metal.

(Bottle 50 cl) Golden with a fairly huge and stable head. Quite hoppy but the hops don’t really that much aroma. Pretty decent beer actually, just completely lacking personality. Exciting back-label in Estonian - I’m completely lost in that language.... 071102

Bottled. Clear yellow, white bubbly head which disappears quickly. Very hoppy aroma with some sweetish hints. Strong malitsh and hoppy taste. A bit dry finish, standard lager and rich carbonation.

Pale lager color. Medium white head, mostly diminishing, some lace. Crisp hoppy, slightly metallic aroma. Malty and a bit fruity taste. Some bitterness in finish. Quite ordinary but drinkable lager.

Of Saku's pale beers, this is the fullest and hoppiest one. That said, another Estonian brewery, Sillamae, has a far superior Hele.
