My second Tajik beer - I never thought I would ever get to this when I first began to write beer reviews two and a half decades ago - both thanks to tderoeck. This one must have had a thin, off-white head originally (but none was formed on my sample anymore), over a 'dirty' beige-ish blonde robe. Aroma of dusty grains, spoiled cucumber, old aspirine, hint of sourdough. Strangely sourish but with a sweeter grainy core, even a tad bready (the only pleasant aspect about this), with a honeyish accent and something floral in the finish, but no true hop bitterness to speak of. Thin, odd and smelling funny - but at least it tasted better than it smelled. By now I think really give up on this country as far as beer is concerned...

Sampled at Tim's place, huge thanks! Clear pale golden color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, cardboard, dusty, dusty bitter. Bleh.

My new country. Sowiecka jakosc, slabe wodniste, sztuczne o plastikowym zapachu jasne, dziwnie musujace, z mizerna grubo ziarnista piana. sztuczno slodkawy posmak pierogow z serem lub leniwych.

(sample, bottle) Clear golden. Minimal white head. Worty, grainy, fruity. Unpleasant bitter. Light body. Very bad.
