Smell- weak, malt maybe. Foam- thin, malty, maybe find non-alco notes, but not in a way to give something negative. The Head is small, white. Appearance- seems like a unique bottle cap, bottle design itself is simple but the bottle has brows on it. Clear orange-amber, no carbonation it seems. From - snifter Taste - weak bitter-sweet, malt, kind of metallic, some non-alco notes somehow, but also hops in back. Nothing special in general, but not terrible.

Maybe Kotayk lager but ABV is different. Smell - weak, maybe hops. Foam - exploded a bit of opening so it seems like large-ish head. White color. Thin, some bitter-sweet notes, and hops and kind of non-alco feel to it. Sticks. Appearance - unique Kotayb bottle cap, kind of reminds me of Latvian Kokmuiza. The bottle is simple though, their crowns engraved in an actual glass. Clear yellow, orange amber, weak carbonation. From - pint glass Taste - weak bitter-sweetness, some malt, and some hops. Reminds me of Russian lagers, nothing special, bitter-sweetness does not work for me to be honest.
