Can, 0.50l, tried it more than 10 years ago. Premium as could almost every beer that has got premium in its name. Classic lager that luckily had a bit more alcohol than its nowadays cousins...

0.5 l can brought from Slovenia, thanks Natalija! Poured crystal clear golden body with medium head. Quite pale aroma, some grassy hops with just touch of stench like rotten vegetables. Flavor quite fine, but too watery and blank even for the style. A bit soapy from time to time, probably because of exaggerated carbonation. Short, but not bad finish. Yes, definitely much better than Union pivo, but still not quite good.

Can, thx to Papsoe for sharing, and for this new country. As expected, it poured clear, pale golden with a white head. Quite grainy nose with some hay and a vague fruityness. The flavor is grainy as well, with hay and some fruity hops leaving a tad bitterness. Thin to watery body. What more to say than it is a new rating, a new country, and I always like to taste a new beer? It is definately not an interesting beer, but there’s nothing foul about it either.(070510)

(Can 50 cl) Courtesy of Doggythedog. Clear, deep golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Clean, malty nose. Medium body with a very soft mouthfeel and light notes of malt. Very discreet bitterness. 100507

Canned. A golden beer with a thin beige head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet metallic combined with notes of caramel.

The last of the three Union beers found in Mercator, and probably the best Slovenian beer I’ve tried. Had a huge white head that managed to look firm and fluffy (like a really dense white sponge, maybe. Head gets smaller at medium speed. Very nice gold going orange color that contrasts with the head, and plentiful lacing near the top. Looks different from most other "pale lagers". The smell isn’t that good. I cannot think of a proper word or a phrase to describe it, but "fruity socks" is the first thing that came to my mind. The taste is generally pleasant, fruity, hoppy, but somehow mild (Goldings ?). A touch of lemon. Slightly bitter aftertaste. And to my suprise some alcohol could be felt, just a tad, but it’s there. Not sure that the style is correct. I’d really go with Premium Lager. All in all, the best Slovenian regular lager I’ve tried.
