0.5 l can courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks! Poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Hoppy aroma, lemony, with some weak pale malts. Very watery flavor, quite fine base with combination of lemony hops and flowery malts, but so thin you simply can’t enjoy it. May be refreshing sometimes though. Medium carbonation gives nice bread finish, but as of its thin body its short. About flawless except of its wateriness and too boring as such.

0.5 l can Doggythedog shared with me, so huge thanks for the new beer country! Poured golden body with bigger head. Dusty and corny aroma, even with some notes of malt; nothing special but fine. Flavor is bad, too malty with some weird bitter, mutant hop notes. Thin bodied with medium carbonation still gives short finish which is boring and pretty unpleasantly bitter. Looks like it’s not well done, as it had some potential. Seems like it doesn’t matter is beer from Romania and Bulgaria, it’s still same style of crap.

0.5l can courtesy of a friend who lugged it halfway through the Balkans from Bulgaria (huge thanks, Krešimir!) Medium sized head that collapsed unevenly at a medium pace. Pale golden colour. Light hoppy nose, lightly flowery. Hmm. The taste is empty, a bit too much. Likable, very lightly piney, more lemony hop, and that’s all folks. Ok, no, there’s some vague malty breadiness and that’s all. Not offensive but weak and unremarkable. Hey, at least it’s not foul.

0.5l can courtesy of a friend who lugged it halfway through the Balkans from Bulgaria (huge thanks, Krešimir!) Yay, my first Bulgarian beer. After three crappy Romanian beers, this was bound to be better. Or was it. Gilded yellow colour, medium-big head. Light dusty hoppy nose with some light malt. Hmm.... corn maybe too. Better, yeah. And then I tasted it. Grain mixing with bad glue/sulphur. Bitterish. Light, ok lemony taste... guess that’s the hop and it’s a bit stale. Some apple. Ok graininess in the base but ruined by that odd off taste. Why?

Kläglicher Hopfenauszug-Antrunk, bleibend, mild. Süßlich-getreidiger werdend, unangenehm bitter im Abgang obwohl auch dieser Ton nur mild ist. Ein Bier für die Kloschüssel. Test vom 10.8.2008, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 6,4,4,1,7,2 - 3,10

50 cL can, thanks to Papsoe. Pours clear yellow with a huge creamy white head, slowly collapsing. Aroma is mild grassy. Flavour is of vegetables, grassy and metallic cornish. Ends cornish and mild bitter. Can be drunk, but certainly no pleasure.

Not sure what is so "Special" about this one.
Appearance: Pale clear golden. Almost no head. More when warmer. Small bubbles. Aroma: Some malt. Slight honey? Not much. Taste: Bitterness and some malt. Unpleasant aftertaste. Info: 500ml bottle, 2/1-2008

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pale gold with off whitehead. Bit cardboardy on aroma. Some faint lemony hop. It’s actually alright. Malts are fine and the hop is more than average. The lemon edge they provide is pleasant. Better than average pale lager.
