Finally Azerbaijan! Thanks to luttonm for bringing this! Poured a pale golden body with a tiny white head. Light dusty herbal aroma with some egginess. Empty taste, egg, slightly tangy, some light herbal notes. But hey, it’s smooth - must be that "famous" Azeri water.

Can. Pours clear golden with a small white head. A bit watery and sweet as most industrial lagers, but not bad. Better than Efes and absolutely drinkable, but nothing special.

Bottled 440ml. -Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, dusty bready nose. Sweet malty and mild grainy with notes of honey and rice. Slightly better than Aleksandrapol and Zekari.

500 ml can, Azerbaijan version, bought at corner shop in Baku and shared at rating session 13.Apr.2010. Smells of rotten fruit and cardboard, this is reflected in the flavour. Tastes like band aid, newsprint and envelope adhesive, with a hint of sour milk. Drainpour!

500ml bottle at the National Philaharmonia Cafe in Baku 1. Apr.2010. Clear golden body. Hoppy aroma with notes of cheese. Sweet fruits and corn, with a hint of white pepper in the finish. Ok, but a bit uninteresting.

Brewed by Baltika-Baku, Azerbaijan version. Thanks to Elisabeth for bringing a 500ml can back from Baku. Clear, straw-golden body under an average, white head. Aroma of maize and bland taste of sour fruits, notes of bandage. Lively carbonated. Clammy mouthfeel. Has got very little to offer (shared at a rating session in Tromsø, 13.04.2010).

500ml can, brought back from Baku for sharing at a rating session, thanks to Elisabeth. Clear, metallic golden body. Small white head. A bit of sweaty hops to the nose. Taste of corn and sweet fruits, banana notes. Spiced bitter endnotes. Flat carbonation. Possible to drink and rather decent tasting for a pale lager (Tromsø, 13.04.2010).

Bottle in Baku, March 2008. Clear golden with a rather small white head. Weak aroma and taste. Grass, bread some fruits and rather sweet. A boring lager, there are to many of them.

Canned@omhper. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is quite much saltwater mixed with grains and mild rubbery notes. Flavour is grains, saltwater and rather boring. Not too unclean in the flavour.

Canned. Clear golden, small head. Fruity grassy nose. Medium sweet with clean, ruonded mouthfeel. Grainy malt together with a fair amount of spicy grassy hops gives it sufficient subtance to be pretty good quencher. Finishes with some late bitterness. As a countries mainstream lager it is not bad at all - and I’m happy to finally having found an Azerbaijani beer!
