Yellow coloured. Soft. Malty and sweet. Low bitterness. One dimensional. By far too little body to balance the alcohol.

Dark brown. Rather sweet, very light for a porter, medium bodied, slight roastiness.

Grainy, cidery, some cheap malt flavours. Lacking in substance and balance. This beer replaced the much better strong pale lager Seitse Munka in the roster, which is too bad.

To clarify, the beer in question is Saaremaa Tuulik, brewed by the Saaremaa brewery on the Estonian island of the same name. Olvi owns this brewery, but the Olvi brewery is in Iisalmi, Finland and this isn’t brewed there. Tuulik is an above average Estonian lager, with a fruity-hoppy accent.
Now some of the Saaremaa beers are brewed at Tartu...
