Can picked up at the roadside market in Nivicë. Gold with a fleeting head and lots of rather large bubbles. Aroma is a faint mix of dough and synthetic wrapping paper or fresh wrap. Taste is mildly bitter with a faint dough sweetness on the tongue at the end. Light bodied with a moderate carbonation more restrained than the optics would indicate. Not refreshing and not particularly inviting, but also fairly harmless.

About a million pints in Durres. Clear gold, fairly dark, some white head. Nose has dough and grain. Flavor is just doughy. Bread. Grist. Medium bodied. It's not terrible.
