Grainy barley and wheat. Clear yellow thin white head. Medium body. Honey and grain. Wheat bread finish. I’m really digging on the bready sweetness. Is it exceptional? No, but this is a quality beer from a lackluster style. Well worth the elusive Estonia tick.

Total Wine and More 10oz ($2.49): Pours a crappy pale with no head. Aroma of cornbrew. Taste is kind of sweet. I pretty much just taste adjuncts. I only purchased this beer for the bottle and for the fact that it came from Estonia, which is a nation from which I have not sampled many beers. I can see the reason why.

12oz? bottle from Binny’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of light hops and yeast. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, it’s ok. Nothing really special here. I really just bought it to get myself another country. At about a buck a bottle, it’s drinkable.

25/08 0.33 l bottle from from Coop store, Gradisca d’Isonzo. It poured pale yellow body with small head that lived short. Typical grainy and lemony boring pale lager aroma. Similar flavor, besides grainy bitterness, shows some corn sourness and lemony hops. Thinner to medium body with acidic and sweetish finish. So typical and bad macro thing.

0.3l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy - thx! Shiny pale golden body, small white head that went away fast. Ugly sweetish, perfumey malty nose with notes of corn. Light salty vaguely herbal corny taste. Bit dusty. Damn this sucks.

Bottle shared by Stoad at Sourfest. Pours with a clear yellow body and a light white head. Aromas are strange! Roasted red bell pepper, metal, corn, chlorine and water. Flavors follow with the roasted red pepper, kind of tamale like as well. Strange. Corn. Lively bubbles, thin and dry. Unique for a pale lager for sure!

Bottle at the Windows London Hilton. Pours an effervescent yellow with a foamy, white head. Cereal aroma. Sweet flavor, some straw, grain and cereal. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Some bready malts to finish, slight hay and slighter metal, more cereal. Not bad, really.

0.3L bottle, smallish head, clear pale straw yellow colour, lightish aroma with some yeast and a hint of fruitiness, medium bitterness which is a touch coarse with a complementing malty sweetness, dry aftertaste. Clean and quite drinkable on a hot summer day, but nothing special.

Bottle courtesy of Butters. Thanks! Slightly hazy pale yellow nearly no head. Sweet grainy malts with some corn notes. Grassy hops, grain, salty finish. Medium bodied. Meh.
