(bottle) Slightly unclear, pale golden colour with a medium-sized and minimally off-white foamy head. Doughy and slightly grainy malty aroma with a touch of herbal and slightly woody hops. Mildly bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Slim malty base with shy chalky and grainy spots; dry-ish slim malty finish with a nasty metallic hoppy tail. 04.VI.12

Tesco, Bratislava. Golden body, tiny white head. Light dry grainy sweetish malty nose. Ok enough. The taste isn’t much different... grainy, sweetish yoghurty. Very light herbal notes, tiny bitterness in the background. Could be far worse.

Bottle from supermarket in Bratislava. Golden color with small white head. Unpleasant malty aroma with oranges. Taste, oranges, surprisingly light bitterness in finish. Well, what to say... not beer.
