Wel, well well... Looks OK, nice foamy head that stays, great copper colour. Aroma, on the other hand, is quite terrible. The hops are there only faintly and everything is filled with malty wet cardboard. Lager-like - and not good lager. Taste has some bitterness, but I can feel mainly plastic. Messed up and not nice. I half-expected this to be drinkable but I was wrong.

0,33L bottle. Pours amber with off white head. Small line stays. Aroma is sweet, fruity, floral. Flavor is syrupy sweetness, floral, fruits, grains. Finish is fruity very dry bitter. Overall: messy brew. The first sniff of the aroma gave an impression of something decent, but the taste and palate are really disappointing (the aroma also gets worse as it warms up). I can clearly feel the hops and I can clearly feel the IBU (for me IBU always shows more how long the bitterness stays in the mouth than how bitter the beer is), but the crappy macro lagerish signs are too obvious. The sweetness feels artificial (almost like corn syrup) and there are some weird grainy flavor. Especially disappointing because "Puls Extra Lager Eripruul Kuivhumalaga" proves that Estonian macro brewers can brew decent hoppy beers...
