Small beige head. Clear brown body. Sugary caramelly aroma with plasticky earthy notes. Dryish earthy plasticky caramel taste with spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy spicy plasticky aftertaste with perfumy alcoholic earthy notes. The same weird earthy chemical flavor runs through the whole thing, and I for one could really do without that. (1l PET bottle, from Bravo Alco, Panevežys.)

Small white head. Clear yellow body. Light fruity, slightly artificial aroma with alcohol notes. Dry-sweet earthy papery taste with artificial fruit notes. Mid-bodied. Slightly abrasive mouthfeel. Dryish earthy sugary artificial fruit aftertaste with spicy notes. It’s not really good, but not quite entirely bad, either. (1l PET bottle, from Bravo Alco, Panevežys.)

Aroma: wheat, banana. Pale, cloudy, with smaller head than most wheat beers. Medium sweetness. Flavour is rich in wheat, little yeast (which I like in this case). Average carbonation, light body. Altogether nice, drinkable wheat beer.

Head: white, smallish, soapy, poor retention. Colour: yellow, clear.

Aroma: hops and malt sweetness (minty lollipop), some late bready/doughy maltiness too.

Taste: moderate malt sweetness, a bit of hop bitterness, CO2.

A clean and crisp helle-like lager, no off-flavours. Quite up to german standards.

Dobre piwo pszeniczne w stylu niemieckim. Moze delikatniejsze i jasniejsze od ciezkich bawarskich piw tego typu ale i tak dobre. Zapach pszeniczno-bananowy. Smak podobnie, troche gozdzikow w tle i biszkopta zamoczonego w mleku. Piwo przy tym orzezwiajace i sycace. Fajnie metne i zlote w barwiie. Niezbyt ladna etykieta ale chyba niepotrzebnie sie czepiam

500 ml bottle, kindly shared by Holmen1. ABV is 4.5%. Beautiful dark amber to reddish brown colour, moderate head. Malty aroma with some caramel and brown bread. Light bodied for the style. The flavour is not too sweet, again with notes of caramel and brown bread. Quite drinkable.

Flaske (gave fra Petro), hos Ole Anders mai-13: navnet betyr den eldgamle. En passabel dunkel med litt aroma og malter. Liten munnfylde og kort ettersmak.

Am besten von der Brauerei war, wenig überraschend, das einfache Helle. Auch wenn es kein Ausbund an schönen Aromen war, so ließ es sich dosch schön trinken; ein einfaches, aber solides Lagerbier.

Von einem Weizen aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion erwartete ich mir auch schon 2013, als ich dieses Bier in einem Zimmer im ehemaligen Intourist-Hotel in Minsk genehmigte. Es war zwar recht erfrischend aber von einem fruchtigen Aromenreichtum weit entfernt. Einfaches Mittelmaß.
