Russian license bottle of 0.45 l. Golden, clear, good white foam. Aroma: a little sulphurous-herbaceous hops, malt, usual. Taste: light, malty, a little candy, watery, a minimum of hops, a typical mass eurolager without a soul.

0.33 l bottle from Kaufland, Središce, Zagreb. Clear golden, small off-white head. Grainy aroma, hay and light bready. Crisp, light hoppy. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, refreshing, light finish. This is not even bad.

Frothy head, fading away slowly. Graine soapy aroma. Grainy flavorwith just a hint of apple and hops. Some weird caramelly flavor. Watery. This beer is cheap, but still not worth the money paid.

330 ml bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a small dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of cracker, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Very fruity/yeasty aromas. Very poor aromas with pale malt and light earthy hop notes; with poor strength. Taste of cracker, white bread dough, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread, and mild herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors; with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an okay Euro pale lager. Nice robustness of pale malt and light earthy hop flavors; smooth and pretty refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Clean pils malts and mild earthy hop presence/balance. A fairly enjoyable offering. Probably old, and would be better fresh with more carbonation.

Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een goudgeel bier met een wit schuim. Het aroma is moutig en hooiachtig. De smaak is moutig en wat vlak.
