well, a bit more pleasant than the dreadful Kuld bit still pretty bad. It is a big mystery to me, and a sign of stupidity that we can get two beers from this brewery here in Iceland, none being the porter!

Pale yellow gold hue, with an off-white head, fresh cut hay nose, with a sweet pale malt accent, faint floral hops note in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp sweet pale malt character, with a wet straw accent, toasty note, leading towards a citrus hops bittering finish.

Poured a light yellow with a foamy white head. Tastes of corn and malt. Mildly hoppy aroma. Pretty good. I would drink it again on a hot day. Probably not Estonia’s best offering though.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color lager with a bid bubbly white head with OK retention. Aroma of sweet malt with no discernable hops. Taste is refreshing but quite bland with some sweetness and subtle floral malt. By no mean it this a great beer but at least it is not full of brewing mistakes.

Can. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is fruity malt, grain. Flavour fruit, malt, hint of hop.

0,5l bottle. Pale golden colour, not much of a head. Smells a bit less of yeast than a typical Finnish bad lager (if you haven’t tried a Typical Finnish bad lager, don’t do it). The beer is a bit watery, but in the middle there is some chemical taste and a quite strong bitter sting at the end. I can see why the Pole likes it ;)
