Thx. to Klaas for sharing this one for the benefit of the glorious nation of Kazakhstan // 500 ml. with a pull of cap, a brilliant idea unquestionably invented by the glorious leader whose penis you are not worthy to hold in your hand // bottle is green like Kazakhstan’s fields // sampled @ Tim’s De Molen & assorted beers tasting // pours a very, very, very pale potassium yellowish with even a slight green hue, a head as white as the fine whores of Turkmenistan // bottled on 25/08/2012 // aroma is a delightfully light smell of skunk, beautiful pure grains, clean metal, potassium, fresh spring water, very clean filtration perfection, pale lager genius // taste is lightly sweet skunky grains, light corn, almost a very light malt liquor touch to it, pale malts, pure metals, lager goodness // pure, smooth, high class filtration // honestly one of the least offensive pale lagers I have had so far // very, very, very nice // in the freezing fields while singing songs of praise to the leader this must be acceptable // I am certain that the Borat jokes made this seem better than it is

Blond, light golden colour, white dissipating head. Aroma of malts, light hops. Light sweet, light bitter flavour, rice or corn. Rather sweet finish.
The Borat national anthem definitely improved the experience of this beer. Quite epic.
(From 0.5L bottle at the DMT @ Tim’s living, Gent. Bottle date July 2012. Brought fresh from Kazakhstan by a colleague of Klaas. Thanks for sharing, Klaas!)

50cl bottle, shared with 77ships, Martinus, Tderoeck and Klaas. Drank this while listing to the Borat-Kazak national anthem, epic to say the least, even tasted bits of potassium here and there. Dorée claire, col blanc moyen. Arôme est légèrement houblonné, fleuri avec un malt léger très à la ramasse. Palais est typique du style, pas vraiment grand chose à voir ici, malt pâle, carapils avec un houblon amérisant noble type tchèque. Pointe de maïs donnant une fine douceur pour une effervescence moyenne. Le site de Efes se vante d’avoir plusieurs versions de cette bière, et l’on peut se demander qu’elles sont vraiment les chances d’une amélioration de cette bière. Reste ok pour ce que c’est, mais ans grand intérêt.

30/XII/12 - 50cl bottle @ home: De Molen & assorted beers tasting - bottled: 25/VII/12 (2012-1416) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the bottle!
Clear pale yellow beer, creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: hay, grains, stable, bit sweet. MF: soft carbon, light watery body. Taste: grains, some citrus, hops, bit skunky, lots of potassium! :-p Aftertaste: little bitter, skunky, dry. Pretty boring, but not as bad as I had thought. And if you take into account the 4 month shelf life, we drank it past the expiration date. Sorry! If only we could read Kazak! :p
