Bottle bought somewhere in Budapest, shared with ogivlado. Poured a golden body with a small white head that went away fast. Light lemony nose, like a dulled radler, sweetish. Taste... take a lame, distinctly fake radler and dilute it heavily with weak, watery beer dominated by a boring bitter hopiness (umm a Radleroid really isn’t the style to showcase your precious saphire hops, Soproni). Well, this "radler" is more beery than most but it’s still fake and unimpressive, not beeing all that drinkable. The only thing impressive about it is the marketing campaign surrounding it, but it doesn’t help it anything.

50cl bottle in Budapest, Hungary. pours dark brown, thick beige head. aroma is malty, some chocolate that becomes more prominent in the nose as the beer warmed up. taste, some dark fruits, caramel malts, brown sugar, in the mix, some floral hops. Beer gets better with some outside temp. exposure. Simple; highly drinkable and better than anything else I had in Hungary.

Can, 4.5%. Clear golden colour. Small white head. The flavour is a lot like any other macro lager. Thin and bland. But tolerable when cold enough.

Bottle, 5.2%. OK roasted, sweet caramelly aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Light brown head. Mild caramelly flavour. Slightly watery at first but turns nicely caramelly. Finishes with a creamy and smoky touch which rounds off the beer nicely.

Sample at the Eurostash tasting on 04/30/09: Can from a small tourist bar at the river port in Bratislava. This beer pours a rich dark brown color with a medium fuffy tan head that recedes steadily. Thick rings of lacing on the glass. Roasty aroma of malt and dark fruit. Medium, smooth body with a robust roasted character. Flavors of malt and dark fruit plus touches of yeast and maybe a bit of chocolate. The finish is malty with a lingering dark plum aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottled(500ml). -By far the best Hungarian macro beer. Reddish/brown coloured, medium sized cappuccino head, milk chocolate and cocoa nose. Pleasant chicory taste with notes of chocolate and light roasted malt finish. Alcohol is very discreet. Finally something enjoyable from Hungary.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who found it in Hungary. Poured an extremely dark red-brown body witha medium to big thick tan head. The nose proved to be far nicer than expected, fine chocolate (from cocoa to milk chocolate), light coffee. The taste is sweet and dominated by chicory, however, again showing some chocolate,a bit milky. Some extremely light hop, some roastiness. Wow. Not too complex but tasty and superb for a macro. Well imagine that, the best Gösser I’ve tried so far is actually brewed in Hungary. Heh.
