0.5 l can, thanks to Doggythedog who shared it! Poured golden body with medium head that went down fast. Hoppy and malty aroma, some grass and lot of honey. Flavor is well balanced between bitter and sweet. Simple but pleasant, with grass like spices and honey malt. Unfortunately some slight metallicity ruins it. Shorter bitter, not particularly nice finish. Great comparing to the others I’ve tried that day, but actually it’s still just an average pale lager.

0.5l can courtesy of a friend who lugged it halfway through the Balkans from Bulgaria (huge thanks, Krešimir!) Golden colour. Bout time. Medium-big white head that went away at a medium pace. Sweetish honeyish nose, a touch of hop. Pleasant, sweet honeyish malty taste. Light light hop. Whoa... having no off tastes and being drinkable just made this the highlight of the evening. Quite simple and unremarkable but drinkable and kinda likable.

50 cL can, thanks to Papsoe. Pours clear yellow with a collapsing white head. Mild biscuit malt, light cornish and slight bitterhops note in the aroma. Flavour is mild cornish with a minor biscuit/caramel malt like base flavour. Light acidic to bitter before and into the finish. This really isn’t as bad as the ratings it got, clean and crisp.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grainy, quite barnyardy when popping the cap. As it’s poured in the glass the grainyness stays along with some metallicness. Flavour is sweet malts, grainyness, some hayish notes as well as mild notes of metal.

500ml bottle as Kamenitza Lager Beer. Clear golden body. Quick disappearing white head. Notes of citric aroma with a pale malty accent. Sharp, but momentary flavour of hops with joining sweetness. Standard lager with lively carbonation. Thanks to Eva for bringing a bottle all the way from Izmir in Turkey to the far north of Tromsø (19.08.2007).

Aroma of grain/corn and malt; hint of hop. Mostly clear golden color (bits and pieces are floating; dust in the bottom) with a vigorous white head that laces. LIghtly spicey and herbal at the start. Decent mouthfeel. Finish is still a bit herbal, but there is enough hop to be noticeable. It is dry. This is really unlike anything I can recall. Probably would go well with spicey foods.
