Growler@Koht, Tallinn (thanks Marduk!). Orange colour, no head. Aroma is wheat, yeast, spices, floral and some zesty notes. Flavour is floral, fruity and some spices, yeast and mild wheat to it. Quite thin palate.

Koduõlu is the traditional beer made on the islands off of Estonia, like Saaremaa. This is as authentic as it gets. Like a more drinkable Sahti, with the juniper balanced well with the (low) hops. Bit of diacetyl. So glad I got to try this.

Bottled, thanks martjoobolut! Cloudy golden, minimal head. Citric nose with some bubblegum and bread. Tart with medium body and rounded mouthfeel, low carbonation. Rye bread, bubblegum and slight citric acid. Low bitterness. Complex and mellow. Very interesting. --- Beer merged from original tick of Õlu on 30 Jul 2012 at 14:31 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5.
