Bottle in Gabrovo, Bulgaria - a 2.5L bottle, I should add. Purchased in Veliko Tarnovo. Pours crystal clear gold, lightly effervescent with a foamy white head that quickly fades into nothing. The nose has lots of paper, sugary malts, bread. Light sweet flavor with truckloads of paper, cardboard, some doughy bread, faint wet hay, cereal. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. More of the same to finish; mellow character overall but what is present is not great - paper, cardboard, cereal. Fairly poor.
