Quite a sweet lager, just a little boozy tasting and some very faint floral notes. Not bad at all.

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is malt, grain. Taste is light to medium sweet, malt, grain. Light bitter finish. Reminded me of cheap post-Soviet Zhigulevskoe lagers.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks a lot for the African reciprocity!]. Opalescant, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, thick, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Very weak, somehow husky, minimally biscuity, pale malty aroma, a touch of cracker. Taste is slightly biscuity, pale malty, subtle sweetness, mild, bitter hoppy counterpart. Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Very clean, fairly refreshing, sadly extremely weak nose - not bad.
