Personnaly, I don't find any pleasure with this beer, you don't get any aroma, cheap ingredients, few malt, some corn, almost no hop, 02.07.18, at one Russian shop, at Paris, drinking it at Prélaz.

I don't reach the nirvana with this beer, a typical industrial lager, cheap ingredients, some malt and rice, syrup of malt, few hop, so-so, 03.06.18, with my father, at Prélaz, buying it at one Russian shop, Paris.

It is a basical lager with few aromas, watery, some malt and hop, nothing exciting but it is not bad with grenadine syrup, 09.07.17, at Prélaz, finding it in one Russian shop at Paris.

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.
