0,5 flaske fra super'n på hjørnet, delt med Kitty på hotellrommet i Jerevan: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lys malt, urter, høy og et streif av slapp citrus. Ok bitterhet, men mersmaken er totalt fraværende. Abv er 4,7.

0,5 flaske fra super'n på hjørnet, delt med Kitty på hotellrommet i Jerevan etter en lang dag i bussen fra Tbilisi: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lys malt, litt urter, hint av tropiske frukter og et godt innslag av citrus, særlig søt citron og mandarin. Fin bitterhet i avslutningen pluss en liten overraskelse i form av mersmak.

Two 250ml bottles. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is grain, butter, slighlty sulphuric. Taste is medium sweet, malt, butter. Light bitter finish. I don't understand why they decided to bring this beer back now, I also don't get why they would bottle it in such small bottles.
