Description
Saku Õlletehas was established in 1820, when the owner of Saku manor, Karl Friedrich Rehbinder decided to set up a small brewery at his manor. Documentation has proven that the first brewing period at the Saku beer house took place in October 1820. By 1899, Saku Õlletehas had become the biggest brewery in North Estonia and had built its own railway line between Saku and Tallinn.
Throughout history, quality lager beer and Baltic porter have played a key role in the Saku beer portfolios. These beers have been exported all over the world, from the Russian Empire to the developed beer markets in Europe.

33cl bottle from Rimi, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a dissipating, white head. A bit "plumish" aroma at first, but turns into a horrible floral, soapy and perfumy thing that lasts and is completely dominating. Smells like some cheap perfume, but thankfully it's not that flavourful, but it's still horrible.

Siin on õlut rohkem kui arpuse smoothies... suht maitseb nagu oleks laagrit maitsestatud kõvasti mango-aprikoosi vms esktraktiga (USA-s oleks sildi peal "natural flavors added"). Joodav limps, võiks vähem magus olla.
