Bottle from somewhere in Graz, shared with heavy. Poured a pale golden body with some lazy carbonation and a medium sized white head that went away slowly. A bad grainy-vegetabley nose, humm. I’ve had some Czech beers for diabetics and they were awful and I expected little, even less after smelling it and hearing some comments heavy made. Still, after the initial impression of drinking bitter water (simple strong hop up front) some malt showed up. Papery though. Sweetish. Not awful by any means, just ok.

The bottle looks really simple, the beer in the glass also. Almost no head. Starts sweet, very cola-like. The beer is well hidden. Not good!
