Can from a friend who visited Georgia (huge thanks Krešo!), shared with ogivlado, heavy and TimE. Poured a clear pale golden body with a medium-small white head that went away relatively slowly. Light nose, sweetish, slightly buttery, very light fruitiness, maybe some alcohol. The taste is softer than one might expect, malty and fruity, not too alcoholic, some light acidic hop notes. Strange, the others considered it flawed, but it was better than expected (if obviously far from brilliant).

Re-rate 11/1/10: Bottle at a tasting. Thanks eyes_ wide_shut. Clear golden. Aroma of cooked corn and a bit of hay. Sweetish flavor, a bit grainy, a bit of crackery malt and a slightly bitter finish. Light-bodied. Not as good as I remembered it. 3/3/4/2/7=1.9
Bottle (thanks mom!). Clear golden color with a very big, slowly-diminishing, white head. A slightly hoppy aroma with notes of grain. Flavor starts sweetish with some malt and finishes with a rather pleasant bitter hoppiness. Light to medium-bodied. I’m quite surprised, this is not bad at all! 4/4/6/3/11=2.8

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Slight funky cellar aroma. Dry and crisp, medium bodied with dense mouthfeel. Quite hoppy with oily notes of saaz hops. Long salty bitterness. Refreshing, despite the funky nose.

Bottled. Clear golden, rich head. Rich hoppy hay/orange aroma. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel. Densely malty with a fair amount of unusually tasting hops. Quite bitter finish. Definitely Czech style - you can tell the brewmaster is Czechish.

Bottled. Pale golden, brief head. Fruity and quite minerally. Light bodied and almost boozy with rounded mouthfeel. No bitterness.
