06/06 0.5 l bottle. My first Azerbaijani rating! It poured deep golden body with big head. Weaker hay aroma. Flavor was only slightly better, herbal hoppy with honey and bread malt, slightly grainy. Corn possible, some acidity felt? Medium body with shorter bitterish papery and herbal finish. Might be better than expected, but it’s still just an ordinary macro lager. Worth experience though.

Bottle that heavy got from an acquaintance from Azerbaijan (huge thanks to that guy! and heavy of course :) ). And now I got to enter the brewery and rate the beer first. Go me! This started to gush like mad though, but once that settled, a deep golden body appeared so we called the police. Hur hur hur. The foam was nice and thick, put not as persistent as it seemed at first. All in all, this looked quite lovely, they didn’t lie about the "Zlatý" part. The nose was back to reality, though not a harsh return. Not terribly Czech but passable, dry and malty, papery, with weak honey from time to time. Creamy, slightly herbal-bitterish from the hop (ooh, Saaz?), slightly corny, with an ashy finish. Not bad really.
