Commercial Description:
Saku's oldest beer.
Saku Hele is a light special brew with a strong taste of hops and a pleasant aroma, which has been developed together with Czech master brewers. Saku Hele is brewed according to one of Saku’s oldest recipes in honour of Valerian Baggo, the lord of Saku Manor, who established a truly industrial brewery from the manor’s small brewery.

Deep yellow lager with stale aroma. Sweetness and hops lead to boring alcoholic finish. Not special.

0,5L bottle. Some years ago, Saku hele was one of my favorite beers. It was so hoppy and fresh. But now. Whatś happen? Saku? It was more sweet than some years ago. Saku want produse beer for women and children, who loves sweet. Shame for you, saku!

Bottle 0.5 l, Tallinn. Pale golden, thick white head. Hayish malty nose. Harshly bitter, dry and a bit sandy flavor with some maltiness in there. Not much aftertaste. Harsh, not very balanced. I would’ve guessed it’s a pilsner instead.

500ml Bottle- Pale golden in colour with a rich and white foamy head. The aroma is not very powerful but a little bit of malt and lemon can be detected. The taste is malty with a little hoppy element and the lemon featuring again. I guess this is the Estonian equivalent of a hoppy beer but that doesn’t say too much.
