Bottled on Jan 18 2006. This poured a clear, light gold along with a whacking great foamy white head. The hopping was evident from the instant the cap came off. Taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste were typical of a better-quality Euro-lagers. This was a nice beer to drink and I’d have it again.

Can, 4.6%. Mild grainy aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour is OK malty with a little chalky note. Standard macro lager, but less repulsive than most.

330ml can. White head and light golden color. Aroma is weak malty and flavor is somewhat malty with hints of honey. Kinda metallic finish. Basic pale lager, quite drinkable but overall very boring, there’s hundreds of beers like this and I don’t really see a reason to buy this again.

500ml can. Big white head or a sloppy pour. Gold beer, lots of carbonation. Where is Estonia? Is somebody making these countries up? Did USSR split up so that we could have more countries. Why is every beer the first (blah blah blah) or the leading (blah blah blah)? Why can’t they just make a good beer. Rambling! Let’s taste it. Relatively clean scent with earthy hints. A little hoppy. A little zing. BUT "the life and dreams of Estonian men"!??! Is this a beer or an SNL skit? A bit of fuesel and strongish hops. A bit of malt sweetness. I am sure you could develop an affinity for it. Drink on Estonians!!

Draught (500 ml) at Merekaru, Tallinn, Estonia. Clear golden colour with thin head. Metallic aroma. A bit sweet malty flavour. Decent basic lager.

Tasted 6/6/07 Tallinn, Estonia, on tap @ hotel bar. Decent for a national brew, however still a bit too light.

[1827-20081024] bottle. Hay bales and corn meal and potato vegetable aroma. Clear, dark yellow body with a small long-lasting creamy white head. Corn vegetable flavour has some sweet hay grains. Light-medium body. Not enjoyable.
