Viru

I have to admit that Viru is the first Estonian beer I've tasted.

And I'm not particularly surprised to learn that it's a pilsner.

However, I am a bit surprised to learn that the curious longish octagonal pyramidal bottle is in fact NOT a gimmick introduced to market the beer when it was recently introduced to the international market (according to wikipedia it's scheduled for release in the US this year).

Enough about the bottle. What about the beer? Well, it's OK, but nothing special to my taste, so I'm guessing I would be more interested if I went to Estonia and found it at a price that didn't reflect export/import costs. (Honestly, if I went to Estonia, I would probably be looking around for what other beers they have...)
