"The beer is dark golden in colour with a nice amount of foam on top. It tastes smooth and sweet with a nice malty finish. Slight citrusy hint towards the end. Pretty decent lager." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

500ml bottle at 4.5% ABV. Back of the label says "Kotayk Chani". Pours clear gold with a small white head that amazingly doesn't disappear after about 10 seconds. Aroma is grain, malt, some herbal hops. Taste is light sweet, grassy, a bit metallic, a bit hoppy too.
