At a tasting, thanks, smallish head, clear palish yellow color, malt and paper aroma, sweet honey flavor, coarse bitterness. Not too pleasant but still drinkable.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks mom for this bottle! 2 months after BBD. Cardboard, sweetish graininess, a bit of diacetyl, bitterish finish, a bit metallic. Kinda drinkable when served cold.

50cl bottle from Smart, Tbilisi. Pours clear pale golden with a small white head. Grainy aroma with hints of sour fruits and possibly some hops. Moderate sweet and grainy with a fairly decent bitterness. Watery, but refreshing in the heat. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Quite okay as a thirst quencher. (2013-07-03)

50cl from Smart supermarket in Tbilisi. Pours clear golden with a lasting white head. Standard pale lager aroma, light malt with cooked vegetables, hints of fruits and hops and some lightly skunky notes. Moderate sweet with a light but nice enough bitterness. Works well as a thirst quencher in the heat, but quite watery and not much flavour. Somewhat refreshing.
