33cl bottle from Solaris, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with a white head. Grainy and slightly grassy with hints of honey and herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with relatively low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Drinkable enough.

Older tasting notes: clear golden pour with a small white head. Aromas and tastes of malts and grains, somme grass/hay and lemon. Okish.

Evidently aimed at the Italian market. Bottle. Cloudy orange with a fading loose inch of white head. Aroma is bready with grapefruit and some floral and grassy notes. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Slight and brief bready richness before a moderately bitter dryish finish with more floral than citrus notes. Pretty good.

Can pour from Total Wine and More, Burlington. It's a crystal clear golden yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong European and sweet malts, minerals/earth. Taste follows aroma with hint of sweet fruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, hard to find a prettier beer--the Germans sure are good at that and decent mouthfeel! Aroma and taste have good strength and are true to style, albeit fairly boring to me.

This one poured a clear, light yellow colour with a soapy, bright white head. Medium lacing. Scents include corn and a little metal. Not much. First swig was quite thin. Flavours of hops, very light malt and bread. Finish is mildly hoppy with lightly bitter corn flavours lingering.
