The full-bodied flavour of Alexander is clearly dominated by the bitter crispness of hops and it is balanced out by the stronger than average caramel flavour of the malt. Fresh hops linger in the finish of this light yellow lager with its dense bubbles.

0,5 l from a can. Pours almost transparent pale, very thin colour, almost like a cider. A hint of malts in the aroma, hops not really there. Something stale - maybe water was not so good?Taste is a bit rough, some bitter hops spiking the tongue. Actually not bad, although you can feel something chemical. Overall decent beer - one that I have had more times than I can count. From A Le Coq lineup, this has been one of my favourites over the years.

Ein nettes Bier, das eher einen malzigen Körper hat. Allerding auch sehr zurückahltend im Geschmack. Es wirkt einfach müde.

Another disappointing Estonian lager. I’m rather learning to stay away from the better named and prettier labeled bottles, but there has to be an acceptable lager/pilsner in Estonia, right? I’m still searching.
Clear, pale golden beer, small white head (as is fashion in Estonia). Aroma of brewing cerial, corn and cardboard. Flavour is rather sweet, corn, paper and something strangely reminding of the wax on envelopes or stamps. Rather disappointing.
(From 0,5L bottle)

Bottled, from Tallinn. Clear pale golden, rich but brief head. Tart, yet syrupy. Unfirm with rice and corn syrup that shifts into tin and resin i the finish. Awfully tough to drink.
