Seems to be brewed under the Veldenstein Kaiser license, but there seems to be no matching beer in the "regular lineup". Anyway, huge thanks to Krešo for bringing this from Georgia! Poured a golden body with a big, thick white head that went away slowly. Grainy, malty aroma, slightly yoghurty I guess. Ok malty taste, very light herbal notes, dry. Very light notes of apricot, dry overall. Not bad.

500ml bottle shared with friends. Clear golden coloured body. Mostly remaining, white head, fragile lacing. Very modest pale malty aroma, dry. Mixed flavour of sweet liquorice, honey and cardboard. Paper dry and sweet ending. Got little to offer (November Grain Session, Tårnrommet, Tromsø 13.11.2013).

Bottle, many thanks DSG, stable frothy dense head, just deepish clear golden colour, skunky, rotten eggs aroma with a malty backbone, fruity malty sweet flavour with a strong coarse bitterness making for an unsavoury combination. Not good to say the least.

Can 0.5l. Thanks to Rosenbergh. Colour is clear golden with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Grain, malts and sweetness. Quite carbonated which makes it drinkable.

(Can, 0.5 l, courtesy of rosenbergh, 20130713) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had sweetness and cardboard. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, cardboard and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. Not really bad but I wouldn’t want to drink this one again.

50cl bottle from a local supermarket in Tbilisi. Pours slightly hazy pale golden with a decent white head. Fruity aroma with malt and hints of yeast, cooked vegetables, citrus and alcohol. Moderate sweet and fruity with a slightly dry finish with a very light bitterness. Not very interesting, but much better than the usual pale lagers down here. Quite drinkable and the alcohol is fairly well integrated. One of the best industrial brews here so far. (2013-06-28)

50cl can from a local supermarket in Tbilisi. Pours clear pale golden with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of ripe fruits and alcohol. Sweet and slightly nauseating with noticeable alcohol and a very light bitterness.

50cl bottle from a local supermarket. Clear glass bottle. Pours pale golden with a short lived white head. Aroma of cooked vegetables and malt whits hints of fruits and slightly skunky. Sweet, watery and weak in flavor. Quite similar to other Georgian lagers except for the skunky notes. Hints of bitterness in the finish and also some acidity. Slightly nasty, but drinkable in heat if no better options are available.
