The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass not very zippy. Neutral aroma. Tastes mild and modest hoppy, modest spicy finish. Boring and not really interesting, but good to have tried it!

2l plastic bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy (thanks!) Poured a golden body with a thick medium sized white head. Grainy nose, malty nose... noted a little glue but not when I had it next time. Faint, sweetish grainy taste with some appley hopiness. Another amazingly dull beer. Didn’t dislike it as much as heavy did but it failed to inspire me in any way.

2 l plastic bottle from a store in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. Poured lighter golden body with bigger head that went down soon. Strange things in its weak aroma, bit malty with some awful hop or whatever. Notes of corn are inevitable, as well as in the flavor, where it’s actually dominating over the cheap malt. It’s not thin bodied but very boring and fake. Medium-long, quite unpleasant aftertaste. Drinkable, but not nearly enjoyable. Typical very cheap pale lager usually made for supermarket chains. Maybe the recipe changed since those good ratings?

0.33 l bottle, brought from Bosnia by my girlfriend thanx sweety ;) Pours pale yellow body with small head. Moderate aroma of citrus hops with not too much else. Bitterness is present, just good for a pilsener, pleasant and gives you the feeling of medium bodied beer. Average carbonation. Finish is quite long with notes of citrus again, while it is only a bit bitter on the tongue top. Really surprisingly good!
