568ml can - 'special technology beer', okay, then. Once again, based on parsing the Estonian, I am to take it that this is some sort of Flanders ale?
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of red licorice candy, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of musty yeastiness, brown sugar, and some ethereal leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is generic licorice treats, gritty and grainy caramel malt, faded estery yeast, and very little else.
The carbonation is quite tame in its banal frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a cotton candy good time here. It finishes off-dry, the sweet candied fruit and outmatched maltiness carrying the lingering day.
Overall - I don't know what sort of Flanders, or more broadly Belgian style they were going for with this one, but the basic bitch sweetness is kind of laughable, at best. There is no complexity whatsoever, and it seems more like a frooty cooler beverage than a real-boy beer. Now where did I drop that mic?
