Pretty ordinary pale lager, sweet grainy tinged with very mild green hop aroma. On the sweet side with a bit of boxbard dryness (oxidation?). Anyway, I didn’t find this as bad as some of the other raters, but as far as euro-lagers go, it is in the bottom half.

Great Beer from Estonia! Love the look of the bottle. We have it in USA in 0,3l bottles, perfect for me! One thing tough: never, ever drink it warm!!! Always has to be ice cold.

Faint, almost nonexistent aroma of grass and corn. Clear yellow, flat body with no head and no lacing. Flavor is OK, very boring, normal: Corn, grass, water... Expect nothing more than a watery palate without even a hint of carbonation. Not much positive about this beer... Oh wait, the label is nice, kinda.

Pale with a surprising amount of foam. Another light lager but with some taste of nuts and hops. Not bad, a standard low key lager.
