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.

Sourish mid. Hoppy ending. Herbal and sulphury. Light plus bitterness. Armenian vision of Czech pilsner. Common in some points but different as well. Drinkable.
