Bottle. Pale gold with a white head. Grainy aroma with some lemon. Sweet and pretty bland with modest but somehow harsh bitterness. Finish is dry. Not really enjoyable but more dull than offensive.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur dorée pâle et claire. Léger nez de grains de malt, de maïs sucré avec des notes de miel ainsi que des notes de houblon floral et herbeux. Assez mince en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse et aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle légèrement croustillants lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de maïs sucré avec des traces de sucre chimique puis en finale l’on retrouve un très léger goût de houblon herbeux (gazon) aux notes florales. Post-goût court, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales. (2006)

Das Saku wurd offenbar seit 2015 mit neuer Rezeptur gebraut. Ich hatte allerdings noch das alte. Es war ein recht flaches, schon fast langweiliges Lagerbier, dass zwar gegen Durst half, aber schnell fade wurde

56,8cl can from Tallinn Airport. Pours pale yellow with a white head. Very light malty aroma with hints of cooked vegetables, green apples and grass. Sweet, watery and almost flavourless with a very light bitterness in the finish. Very uninteresting, but pretty drinkable if thirsty.

Healthy lager, especially from a far northern European state that often don’t do this regular type beer that well.

Originally rated November 2005. This Estonian lager pours a rich yellow colour with a decent white head. Retention and lacing is lacking. Carbonation is pretty active, slow and medium sized bubbles. The nose is sweet with grain malt, but the taste is not that close (or bad for some). Bitterness, light touch of a pils, is found throughout with some corn (or grain) slowly showing in the aftertaste. Production date on back of label is written: 040805 1023253 011. Not a bad lager, well balanced between a pilsner and a pale lager.

Canned, 0.5l. Pours pale yellow colour with medium sized frothy white head and lively carbonation. Malty aroma of fresh bread with notes of grassy hops and some citruses, too. Fresh crispy start, some metallic mouthfeel present, while finish is dry and gentle hoppy. Light to medium bodied with thin texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. Ordinary lager for mass consumption.
