UPDATED: NOV 11, 2023 T. Bolloev '1993 reissue' version: Rich malty aroma, white bread, grassy hops. A tiny bit metallic, but overall it's a 9/10 lager. 11/10 for mass-market. Hope they manage to keep that quality for a long time on factories across country. Carlsberg era version: 2.5* This beer is mediocre at best. Not clean, watery and malty with hints of aldehyde and chocolate. Horrible.

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2023 Helle, klare Farbe. Weißer Schaum, muss man aber mit Gewalt erzeugen, ist dann aber recht stabil.. Etwas Frucht, etwas Getreide, hefige Noten, Spuren von Sekt. Brauchbares Bier. Hab ich in einem kleinen Mix Markt gekauft. Die Supermarktkette hat sich auf Produkte aus Osteuropa spezialisiert. Obwohl der Laden nicht groß war, wurde hier eine erstaunliche Auswahl an polnischen, russischen und tschechischen Bieren geboten. Und preislich auch ganz OK.
