330ml can - a pretty Belgian-sounding name for a brew made in Estonia. And it was dirt cheap, so checking my expectations.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves some decent spattered snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, creamed corn, a bit of lager yeast, sort of tart apples, and some plain earthy, musty, and dried hay-like hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, corn-fed breakfast cereal, muddled pome fruity notes, some wan yeastiness, a faint pithy cardboard 'character', and more well understated vegetal, earthy, and dead floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its union-supporting frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and more or less smooth, nothing really messing about here. It finishes off-dry, the blended malt kind of being left out in the cold, all by its lonesome.
Overall - this comes off pretty well, actually, as there aren't any significant flaws, and it's nice and malty. Simple, yeah, but that's not always a bad thing, and I'm not above saying that I enjoy getting bang for my buck!

Easily drinkable beer. Feel is abit bubbling. Taste is short and average, smell is mild. Bit different than my view of premium beer, but good basic beer.

Helposti juotava olut. Alkoholin maku ei juurikaan maistu, vaikka IV-olut onkin. Tuntuma hieman kupliva. Maku lyhyt ja keskitasoa. Haju mieto. Ei varsinaisesti vastaa käsitystäni premium-oluesta, mutta hyvä perusolut.

The colour is pale yellow; the two finger head is white and airy. No lacing.
The smell is malty with a sharp sweetness, notes of corn, cream and hints of alcohol and a chemical bitterness.
The taste got a soft sweet malty flavour. There is a hint of metallic bitterness in the background. Some alcohol, sweetness and vegetables in the aftertaste.
The carbonation is medium strong. Small fresh bubbles. The liquid is smooth.
Well. No odd off-flavours at least. But there is not much else going on here, either.
