I'm a sucker for $2 bottles of eastern Euro (or Asian) lager. Pour is kind of a cloudy gold with a small white head. Aroma is bland malt not much else. Flavor is again the blandest of bland malt. No hops but also no skunk or off flavor. No real flavor but again if I see a beer that has a language I don't know where it's from I'm going to buy it.

12 oz. bottle shared by tfontana. Thanks Tom! Aroma is massive shunky yeast and old malt. Flavor of corn, old malts, and lingering shunky yeast. Normal body and texture. This lager was mildly offensive.

Bottle pour from Total Wine & More, Danvers. It's a clear golden yellow with nice sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Nice crown on the green bottle. Aroma is strong skunk. Taste is strong mix of pilsner malts and skunk. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, SKUNK! Is this from too long in a green bottle or just not great in the first place? Not enjoyable.

So excited to find random country tick on today’s errands. Deep gold and one finger head. Nose is terrible sour malt and industrial grease. Tastes like licking used auto parts, some malt and hops maybe some hay. Blah but yay!
