Can (courtesy of Travlr, much thanks). Light lactic barley malt aroma. Pale yellow with large head. Sweet milky lemon and barley malt aroma. Light body. Pretty light but tasty - I’d like this as a regular session beer.

Can shared by Travlr, 5/23/14. Clear pale golden. Aroma of almost nothing at all. Very faint grain and canned meat. The taste is acrid water, glue, a hint of hops. Thin bodied. Wow, terrible.

16oz can pours a clear gold with some wispy white head. Nose is trashy, creamed corn, honey. Flavor is overly sweet, creamed corn, honey. Slick finish. Not good.

My second Kazakhstani beer in a little over a couple weeks, this one thanks again to Travlr. Not quite as wonderful as the other one, not as "very nice." Sexy time pervades nonetheless. Looks cloudy yellow but that’s probably just because some better sour beer was in the glass. Only thing sour about this at the Epic Sour Tasting was the look on people’s faces.

16oz can from Travlr, thanks Gene! Poured a pale, clear lager color with a foamy, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is light malt, sweet notes, sweet corn? Flavor is sweet corn, sweet notes. not horrible? better than Bud.

I met Ed at Churchkey about three years ago. He retired from the FAA, as an examiner I think, years ago, and now spends his time seeking out interesting beers, the bars that serve them, and the people that drink them. In other words, a man after my own heart. He is generous to a fault: whenever I see him, his first words, after a warm greeting, are, "Wait right here, I’ll be right back." He then retrieves from the trunk of his car some amazing bottle he’s acquired along the way, more often than not from Casey of Max’s. He doesn’t have a cell phone or a computer, so he doesn’t use the internet - so you can only find him by searching his favorite bars. He has a hand written list of more than 13,000 beers he’s reviewed. Anyway, three years ago, Ed told me he had rated beers from 91 countries, but was stuck, and unable to find any more new countries. He gave me a list of countries he’d tried beers from, which I still carry in my wallet. It took me three years, but tonight I was able to share with Ed beers from countries #99 (Bosnia) and 100, this one. I am proud to call you a friend, Ed, and it has enriched my life to have known you. I wish you all the best in your search for your next centennial, whenever that may be. Oh, and the beer was a tasty enough lager, a little bit papery with an edge of cardboard, but a shining bright gold color, like Ed’s heart. As Ed graciously described it, "a good hamburger beer, on a hot day." Here’s to you, good sir.

From a bottle at ChurchKey DC, courtesy of Travlr. Thanks. I love them pale lagers! This one is, well, ok. Lots of grain and corn flavors. No hops in evidence. Good for a country tic and not much else.
