Pours a clear golden color, topped with a medium small and non-lasting white head. Mild grainy nose (a bit smelly) with slight cardboard feel. Very sweet and grainy. A bit sugary with almost no bitterness. Light body. Drinkable if ice cold, but much too sweet.

Many thanks to Nisse666 for this sample! Grainy sweetish beginning. Hints of grainy sourness, malty, easy to drink with a nice malty base. The bitterness is low, smooth and soft with a refreshing malty body with not too much grain. Very easy to drink, soft with a moderate sweetness and really not a bad brew.

Plastic bottle shared during Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014 - Session 3. Big thanks to Rene! Pours clear, pale yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose has light dry cereal, hay and paper. Light sweet flavour, with sugary white bread, grains and cereal, dough, faint paper, straw. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Papery finish, lightly sweet, with more cereal, minimal bitterness. About what you would expect of a pale lager from an obscure country.

Thanks to Barak for providing me a glass of this at CBC 2014. Beer in the glass light yellow, small head. Dry-malty aroma. Starts very mild, dry, malty, almost no hoppy notes. Finish still mild, washy. Some metallically notes. Nothing special but I’m happy for the country tick!
