Enjoyed straight from the can. Toasted malt, burnt bread, treacle, grassy hop. Light sweet, low bitterness. Near to watery. Inoffensive.

450ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized head. Aroma is almond/marzipan and malt. Taste is light to medium sweet, malt, almond and some basil. Light bitter finish. Light bodied. Mixing a pale lager with almond flavouring wasn't the greatest idea, although I wouldn't mind it in a dark and strong(er) beer. But basil? Nah, completely unecessary.

It is not the best beer that I tried from this country, boring, lack of taste, few hop, notes of malt, watery, 22.06.17, buying it at Paris, in one Russian shop, serving me this bottle at Prélaz, Lausanne.

In my opinion, this one is better than the version 2, richer aromas, sweet, toffee, malty and some hop, some German influence, drinkable, 03.06.18, buying it at Paris, in one Russian shop, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz.
