An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, combined with light notes of burnt malt. The flavor is just as the aroma, but added a hint of wood.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a creamy, off-white head. Malty, lightly sweet aroma. Medium-bodied, lightly burned nougat flavour before a dry, lightly hoppy finish sets in. Absolutely not the worst to come out of Estonia. 150506

Bottled. Clear golden colour, small foamy head. Caramel and cooked vegetables (a.k.a. malt) in aroma. Flavour is mainly the same. Feels good in the mouth though, but as for the flavours it is a quite watery thing. Hopefully they will keep developing this.

Bottled (BB 08/2006)
Golden color, decent creamy white head, lace. Pale ale type aroma of malts and hops - there is yeasty notes and some orange peels. Sweetish fruity, not hops found, filtered, some metallic notes. Quite watered down ale. Anyway nice to see an ale from Baltic megabrew. Same beer with different label is also made in Latvia and Lithuania by Olvi-owned breweries? I wonder when Olvi starts to brew their first ale in Finland ...

Bottle 0,5l. Deep red brown colour. A creamy "guinness" head. A watery impression. Sampled together with Koff Porter and Haandbryggeriet Porter and was defenitely the less interesting one. Thanks to Rune for bringing it all the way from southern Finland.

Bottle Big Ben bar, Tartu, Estonia. 18-05-05 Amber colour with a small white head taste ok, did not write too much about this so must have been fairly ordinary.

Bottle, Kurrassera, Estonia 15-05-05. Golden colour, small white rapidly diminishing head this is rocket fuel. A very stong lager that is both malty and sweet, could have been ok but a bit too much alcohol which tarnishes it really.

Bottled, Parnu, Estonia 16-05-05. Pale gold beer, medium white frothy head, some maltiness, not too bad quite refreshing but just a little bit lacking on the flavour front, but there is definately some maltiness there, certainly much better than many other Pale Lagers.
