Bottle looks strange but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts mild but not washy, wonderful hoppy-grasy, not too dry. More and more spicy notes. Finish grasy-flowery, not very dry. Surprisingly good!

Bottle from trade with Cunningham, thank you Henrik. Golden colored beer with small white head. Aroma of old malt, grain, honey. Sweet malty taste with honey, light bitterness in finish. Light bodied. Well, I expected it will be worse, but definitely not tasty beer. Finally I have new country tick.

Yellow colour with a fine white head that soon vanish. Better aroma than the others I tried from Kilika. Moderate grain and caramel malt aroma. Medium to light body. Moderate sweet and light bitter. Mild caramel malt and some cabbage flavour.

33cl bottle at a café in Yerevan. "Alcohol not less than 4.8% by vol." is written on the bottle. Pale golden with a white head. One of the most common Armenian beers, but not the best one in my opinion. Quite standard industrial pale lager. Light, medium sweet and grain, but goes down quite easy. The glass bottles were okay, but I also tried it from a PET-bottle and it was quite bad. Not sure if it’s the same beer - it was marked with 3,8% ABV, but this could also be a typo.

Small offwhite head. Clear yellow body with light carbonation. Light mint and vegetables aroma. Dry-sweetish grainy minty taste with wet sheep and minerals notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry-bitter metallic mineraly aftertaste with minty earthy notes. Interesting and different, with definite character. (0.5l bottle shared by gr0ve.)

500 ml green bottle, many thanks to the ever attentive yngwie, who this way gave me a new "beer country" on my list. ABV is 4.8%. Appears to be imported to Sweden via France. Golden colour, large and lasting white head. "Skunky" Heineken-like aroma (which I do not necessarily find horrible) , also some less pleasant vegetable notes. The flavour is first slightly citrussy and refrehing, then overtaken by unpleasant notes of cardboard, over-boiled vegetables, dust and metallic hop extract. Disgusting aftertaste. Sure, you could probably survive on Kilikia in the Armenian summer heat, but there is hardly any reason to export this stuff.
