Dark-golden, clear beer with a good, off-white head, slightly irregular. Indeed quite alcoholic nose, as some grain-alcohol, a bit sweet, with a dry grain-spices aroma. Extremely raw-alcoholic initial taste, going on towards a sweet pastry-like flavour, slightly spiced. The discrepancy between the, after all modest 7% and the raw spirit character, makes me really think of added ethanol. Alcoholburn, adstringency, medium bodied at best, but syrupy impression. Could vie with the worst malt likkers.

Hmm, well, there’s good and there’s bad. Pours a very pale golden, but its not quite straw pale. Fluffy pitted head. Aroma is off, with yeasty/doughy notes first, followed by mild vegetal and olive notes, maybe a touch of corn of other sweet adjunct. Initially sweet, a little cloying, also tart/astringent. Some bitterness comes through in the end, but it doesn’t meld with the rest of the beer. Lingering sulfuriness. Watery but almost soft palate. Bottle dated 7/5/06 (May 7th?) - don’t know if that’s a best by date or what, if so its 1-3 months past it.

Creamy, white, mid-sized head over clear yellow body with some ongoing carbonation. Faint, bready aroma with grassy notes, a little alcohol, and a touch of candy. Light, sweetish taste of mealy malts, somewhat watery, with grassy notes; aftertaste is a slightly chalky, faintly bitterness. Not bad, but not very remarkable, either. (0.5l bottle, five days after the best-before date.)

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden with impurities. Decent and quite dense head. Mild, discreet bitterness and the typical Romanian metallic edge. Are all their brewing vats rusty or what? SAB Miller this time - most Romanian breweries have fallen victim to the multinationals. 120803

a very pale and quick pilsner, though it is quite drinkable and shows a touch of sweet malt, hay, and hop in the nose.

Pale yellow, rather dry German style pils with nice bitterness, but also a slight paper aroma.
