Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy golden, small head. Papery grassy nose. Dry with clean, somewhat ard mouthfeel. Grainy with good amounts of herbal spices. Lingering bitterness. A fairly well made lager.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fizzy white head. Small yeast floaties. Cardboardish and caramel malty aroma. Flavour is dry malty with a light mix of caramel and cardboard. Light yeasty metallic touch before the finish. Ends bitter and slight caramel malty, yet with a persisting yeasty metallic note.

Hazy pale yellow color, lots of floating yeast, mostly vanishing white head. Cardboardish, wheaty and grainy nose. Wheaty, grassy, a bit banana-like flavor. Not very enjoyable, too grainy and papery. I don’t think that this is really "pale lager".

0.33 l fliptop bottle my friend Zrinka shared with me, thanks! BB date 08/Feb/08. Poured bit hazy pale golden body (outdated rather than unfiltered) with big dense head. Again not so strong, but pretty pleasant aroma, well balanced between grass and lemony hops and sweet floral and fruity malts. Flavor is as pleasant, has all characteristics explained in aroma plus nice bitter hopiness, relatively full bodied for the style, finishing in very pleasant fruity way. Great for pale lager, although I think this is one of its related, more subtle styles. And only if it were fresh...

Hazy blond color. Light aroma of hop and honey scent. Balanced taste, with light malt, honey and hop. Soft impact, but refreshing.
