0,33L bottle, BB 08.2015. Pours golden without head. Aroma is sweet, fruits, candy, grass. Flavor is sweet, malt, fruits, grains, some sourness and bitterness. Finish is fruity-dry bitter. Overall: ok brew. Rating: 6:2:6:3:13=3. Re-rate as Vormsi Rumpo. No sourness, No real fruityness in the end, and very mild hops (at least compared to the vormsi hele eripruul), also bit too sweet. Ok-ish, but there are better options in similar beers (including Vormsi hele eripruul).

0,33L bottle, BB 08.2015. Pours golden with whiteish head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is citrus, fruits, wheat, dead yeast. Flavor is sweet and sour, fruits, citrus, wheat, some spicy notes, dead yeast. Some alcohol is noticeable. Finish and body are thin. Overall: not very good, doesn’t act like proper weizen. Without yeast it felt like ok-ish kristallweizen (you can pour it completely clear if the bottle is settled). Usually pouring the yeast in improves weizens, but it made this one a lot worse.

33cl bottle from Drink Shop, Tallinn. Pours black with a modest beige head. Aroma of roasted malt with some almost vinous notes, cocoa, licorice, dark fruits, alcohol, caramel and hints of wood. Fairly sweet with medium flavour intensity, some slightly sour notes and a fairly light bitterness in the finish. Feels a bit thin and the carbonation is on the soft side. Drinkable winter warmer, but not impressive.

33cl bottle from Uba ja Humal, Tallinn. Pours very hazy golden to orange with a white head. Fruity, yeasty and fairly spicy aroma with wheat, notes of unripe bananas, cloves and hints of soap. Moderate sweet and feels a bit messy, but no unpleasant flavours and a fairly nice acidity. Refreshing enough and fairly drinkable. Might try again in the summer.

33cl bottle from Uba ja Humal, Tallinn. Pours hazy golden with a rather small, white head. Moderate malty, fairly yeasty and slightly fruity aroma with hints of citrus and ripe apples. Moderate sweet with hints of acidity and fairly mild flavours and a rather light bitterness. Drinkable enough but a bit too yeasty and messy for my taste.
