Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts dry, quite malty, a bit wheaty-soapy. More and more metallically. Dry finish. Okay.

Nice tall 0,5 l bottle. Bought in an armenian food shop in Hamburg, Germany. Pours out golden in the glass, big creamy white head. Citrus dishing soap on the nose. Taste the same. Citrus, cardboard, shortly chemical bitterness. The french discription on the neck label listed under ingredients "levure" = backing powder. For what?

Sampled from bottle @ THT November. Clear yellowish color, small white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly grainy, a hint of fruit somehow. Well, actually not that bad. Not very good either but a drinkable lager.
