Bottle. Pale yellow with very small white foamy head, no discernible aroma, medium carbonation, bitter yeast taste, abrupt finish. Quite terrible.

0.5 l bottle, 4.5% abv. Copper-gold lager with white foam. Grain and malt aroma and taste with minimal hop, 5.2 % version was more hoppy and tasty.

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?

0,5 l bottle. Imported via a french company and bought in an armenian food shop in Hamburg, Germany. Mid golden in the glass, small fine white head. Strange fruity sweet on the nose. Starts chemical fruity, hay, flat bitterness, no real taste. Not good.

Bottle at the Dean is Movember Porn Star Tasting, Den Haag. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is sweet stale malt. The flavour is light bittet with a watery light hop palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.

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.

33cl bottle traded with VIPINVELP. Thin white head. Clear light golden pour. A crap lager but a country tick is a country tick.
