Canned, courtesy of my mother, bought from Tallinn, thanks :) (BB 05/2005)
This used to be my favourite draught beer in 1999 when I visited in Saaremaa. After that lots of being happened, I am not sure if this is actually same beer anymore.
Lager color, small vanishing white head. Malty, metallic and slightly alcoholic nose. Watery, weakly malty body. Oily weak sweet aftertaste. Not offensive but just plain, lacking hops. Like a typical Olvi product and this was actually canned by Olvi in Iisalmi.

Very pale yellow, cider-like. Small white head. Skunky aroma, hints of boiled corn. Cirisp, watery mouthfeel. Hoppy, grassy flavor, sweet malts. Grassy aftertaste. Too thin.

Clear lager color, mostly diminishing white head. Apple - sweet white wine aroma. Sweet apple juice taste, some alcoholic bitterness. Hides alcohol quite well anyhow, but one-dimensional and not very drinkable.

Very pale yellow, creamy white head. Lively carbonation. Light corn and malt aroma. Carbonated mouthfeel - like in "ice beer", thin and watery. Citron crisp with some hints of hops giving slightly bitter aftertaste. How different I see this one than Juha.

Pale lager yellow - not really a doublebock outlook. Mostly vanishing white head. Aroma of rubber boots. Quite thin and watery mouthfeel, just some sweet malts. Even alcohol is hiding in a palate, but it warms afterwards.

Very pale yellow. Foamy white head. Aroma is corn and metal. Carbonated, light-bodied - "easy-to-drink" malts and alcohol. Beer’s slogan is: "Men don’t cry" - I do after this one.

Dark brown/ruby color. Brown head is vanishing quite quickly. Dark malty dunkel-like aroma with the notes of vanilla and milk chocolate. Taste is quite malty and alcoholic, mouthfeel is suprisingly thinner than could expect. Short dry finish. I prefer Saku Porter.

Pale yellow, small creamy white head. Very light sweet aroma. Palate is smooth but watery. Flavor is sweet and easy to forget. Glimpse of hops in finish. And yes, cap is nice (Tartu beer factory's tower).
