| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Dec 21, 2004 On tap at Fellini, Tallinn. Pale gold body topped with a large bubbly head. Average malty/hoppy aroma with light herbal and bready hints. Taste is terribly boring and weak. Carbonated water has more aftertaste. Another macrolager without character. I can hardly understand what makes the Finns buy huge loads of such a beer during the shopping weekends they spend in Tallinn. The price, I guess... shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Oct 8, 2004 This wasn’t that bad... it didn’t taste like anything good but it doesn’t taste like anything. Decent for a $1.50 bottle of estonia crap. bark (255), Linköping, Sweden
| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Oct 2, 2004 The colour is light golden yellow. Big bubbles build the low, white foam. The foam disappears completely quite fast.
The smell is somewhat chemical with hints of diacetyl, but there is also a touch of sweet malt. The smell is almost unpleasant.
The carbonation is potent with small bubbles; the mouthfeel is more like a soda water than a beer.
The taste is dominated by an almost sticky sweetness, but there is also a bitter touch of some unspecified hops. The aftertaste is sweet and rather artificial.
I think this beer was quite terrible. rlgk (3378), Vĺrgĺrda, Sweden
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 2, 2004 Golden, small head. Hoppy unfresh aroma. Skunky hoppy flavor with metallic notes. Mild finish. Thin and boring. Ernest (4499), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jun 25, 2004 Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain), lightly hoppy (herbs), with notes of DMS and solvent. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately bitter, slightly husky, slightly unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Ugh, a painfully industrial lager...just say no. DYCSoccer17 (2200), Davis, California, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jun 22, 2004 I bought this because I am a big Montreal Canadiens fan and hence Saku Koivu fan. Ironically, Saku Koivu is Finnish and this is Estonian. Grassy, grainy, and slight citrus aroma that is light. Transparent light yeloow with a small fizzy white head. Fizzy, watery start, some bitterness in the middle, maybe some malts. Boring and watery. ante (2956), Stockholm, Sweden
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Apr 29, 2004 Clear yellow beer with a small fizzy white head. Watery and grainy aroma with a tiny note of hops. Watery and grainy in flavour. Watery finish. sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 25, 2004 Clear, light golden color with a thin, fizzy, white head. Aroma is faint with mild hops and some skunkiness. Flavor is similar: It's predominantly skunky with some (not much) hops in the finish. Feels extremely watery.
Overall, probably a better purchase than a typical American macro, but still not a "real beer."
