Bottled- PET. Clear ruby, small head. Fruity coffee aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel and solid body. Quite potent with concentrated roasty malt character. Some dusty bitterness. Rough around the edges, but still a welcome break with the stream of pale lagers in Romania.

Medium white head. Yellow body with carbonation. Soft malty aroma with hoppy notes. Dry malty taste of grass and chalk. Thin-bodied. Dry hoppy aftertaste. Not very complex, but OK. (0.5l PET bottle in a street café in Bran.)

Near black beer with faint burgundy shine and small, irregular dirty yellow head. Some mineral, chocolate and toasted malts. Because I want to find something, it smells hardly more than still water. Slightly wry, woody taste, walnut(peel); yet with some typical malt sweetness, getting more sugary. Yet there’s evidence of t/roasted malts every new sip. As from human sweat. Really. Medium bodied, certain oilyness. They’re doing things with these plastic bottles. Looks like a 25cl, and a half litre glass couldn’t hold it all. As to the beer, they rid themselves of the Genius of the Carpates, now they’ve got the genie of Commerce. From Vlad the Impaler over Ceaucescu to GW Bush. Poor country.
