Right from the green bottle into my mouth, here comes armenia. Must be pale yellow, heheh. Godd sizzle and some of that baltic pilsner thing happening here. Yes, old style cheap pilsner thing going on. Goes down fairly easy with a little tinge. Same with finish. Overall old lager effect.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts mild, a bit metallically, modest dry. Finish a bit unbalanced, some sourish notes. Okay, but nothing special.

50cl bottle at my hotel room in Yerevan. Kotayk Tshani is the transcription the brewery is using. Pours golden with a white head. Definitely my favourite among the Kotayk beers I tried (lager and Gold were the other two). The same ABV as the regular Kotayk, but richer taste. Pours golden with a small white head. Sweet and grainy as the rest, but with some hops noticable. Not a great beer, but one of the best Armenian beers I have tried.

50cl bottle at my hotel room in Yerevan. Pours golden with a small, white head. Pretty simular to the regular Kotayk except the "fancy" clear bottle. Pretty standard pale lager. Sweet and grainy and hardly any traces of hops. Still it goes down pretty easy on a hot summer day in Yerevan.

33cl bottle at a café in Yerevan. Pours golden with a small white head. A bit different from all the Armenian pale lagers I tried. This actually has some bitterness and traces of hops in it. More German pilsner style than the average pale lager. Quite decent and refreshing. (Backlog from Armenia trip in 2010 - tasted: 2010-05-27)

Bottle. Pours clear pale amber with a small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing. Aroma is strong grain and corn syrup, plus some grass. Flavor is about the same, somewhat sweet, with a lightly bitter grassy/metallic finish. Other than color this feels and tastes more like a pale than a premium.

Bottle, at TFODRBSG-12. Clear, golden beer topped by a small, white head. Weak, boring and not very pleasant aroma, with grains, some fruityness and an almost cellarish dustyness. Thin on the palate, a bit hard on carbonation. Grains, fruityness and some grass and hay in the flavor, not much bitterness going on at any stage. Uninteresting and useless. 120818
