Saku
Well let’s stay in the Baltic States, today I am reviewing Saku Originaal from Estonia. Well I had a real case of déjà vu, it is very similar in both taste and colour to Zelta. A slightly stronger taste than Zelta, but like Zelta it is a very light tasting lager. They must use very similar brewing techniques in that part of the world. Probably one best served cold on a hot summer’s day. If you like it light pick one up, you will like it.

About My Beer a Day (or whenever I feel like it) Blog
Hello everyone, ever found yourself looking at the beers in the imported or specialty section, thinking to yourself, I wonder if that one is any good. Well I have started this blog giving my opinion on a variety different beers and hopefully I can help you out. I am a beer lover who enjoys trying different brands. I am by no means an expert, just a regular guy who enjoys sampling beers. I will be drinking different beers from around the world, one beer a day (at least most days), and commenting on them. I will drink each beer chilled from a chilled mug or glass (my personal preference) and then rate them. Most of the beers I am reviewing have been purchased from the LCBO or Beer Store in Ontario. Most beers will be 500 ml bottles or cans. If you are interested in trying any of the beers I have recommended, try your local LCBO, although some are only available for a limited time. At the moment I am concentrating on imported brands and occasionally I will be commenting on local specialty beers. I will not be commenting on big name brands such as Molson Canadian and Coors Light.
If you are looking for a place to tell you what beer goes best with a certain cheese or cavier, then move on this isn’t the place for you. If you think beer goes with Pizza and Chicken Wings, then welcome to my blog. And remember, friends don’t let friends drink Bud Light.
If you want some good pop-punk music to listen to while drinking beer check out To Tell The Tale, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Free downloads at http://totellthetale.bandcamp.com/
Your comments are welcome, let me know if you agree with my opinion.
“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed – Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, ‘It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.’”

Beer a Day Blog 
You have made a mistake, claiming that Saku beer comes from Balkans. Estonia is a Baltic state, more than a thousand miles from Balkans. Much closer to Finland and Sweden than Greece and Serbia.
Saku Originaal is one of the two most popular beers in Estonia, it’s also liked by tourists and exported to neighbouring countries. But pretty average to my tastes.
If you have a chance you should definitely try more Estonian beers. I would recommend Kuld, Hele and Rock from Saku brewery and Special, Pils and Alexander from A. Le Coq brewery. The dark beers and porters have also recieved some attention and awards.
My mistake I of course meant Baltic not Balkans, thanks for your comment. I will have to proof read my Posts better.
