Light clear gold body with a small skiff floating on top. The stink of this beer is epic!!!! Rotten malts with dark not fresh apple bordering an skunky. Sweet barn yard yuck flavor with dark heavy flavored malts that finishes ungodly sweet. Flavour seems to be getting lighter the more I drink but yet its low quality Euroness is repulsive. I hate all of these appley skunk Euro lagers they all suck but this one’s is more skunky than most. I wish eastern Europe and Latin America would stop attempting to produce beer they don’t know how!!!!!

half liter bottle, pours super clear yellow with some popular bubbling and a thin head covering. Aroma is wheaty and yeasty. Flavor is grassy. Palate is slightly off, a touch watery and a lasting bitter flavor.

500ml bottle, shared with Stefan in Tallinn 21.oct.09. Pours a sparkling golden body, with a white fizzy head. Wet grassy aroma, with notes of grain and honey. The quite sweet, vapid flavour and thin texture makes it rather uninteresting.

Light gold swill, almost no cap after dumping it out hard from the can. Skunky smell, grain, boring! Something...wait.. nothing good , nothing bad. Grainy taste, watery, hops, light spice standard crap. Tons of carbonation but not gassy. Dry Boring. Check mark Estonia.

Another bland pale lager. Aroma has a little skunky smell, taste is thin with yeast and some hop. Something I won’t try again.

500 ml can from LCBO. Pours straw in colour, with big frothy head. Mild balanced aroma, and similar taste. Body is light. A basic Euro lager.
