Bottled 500ml (shop in.Batumi). I’ve had several of these before rating it. Clear golden colour, small white head. Sweet malty aroma. Light-bodied. Sweet maltyness, light green apple. Low bitterness, more on malt side. Reasonably clean. This is perharps the best of nasty Georgian industrial lagers.

Standard pale lager from Georgia, shared by tderoeck at his place, thanks for the country tick Tim! Snow white, irregular, moussy, lightly lacing head, sustained by fierce strings of champagne-like fizz, raging through a pure ’old gold’ coloured, clear beer. Aroma of soggy popcorn, flour, straw, grass, white bread, touch of sourdough, sweaty grains. Sweetish ’dry breakfast’-cereally flavour with a sourish grainy side, feeling like an all-malt beer actually, fizzy and minerally carbonation, slick and bit glueish mouthfeel. Bread crust-like maltiness is accompanied by a grassy ’end’ hop bitter touch a bit more so than I am used to from the style, but simple cereally sweetishness stays the main factor. Still a bland pale lager, but quite alright for what it is, really.
