450ml can. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is malt, grain, minor hop. Taste is medium sweet and malty. Light bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not especially boozy, despite being a low-price strong lager from the former USSR.

Good, ever so slightly yellowish head, fed by well carbonated, clear golden beer. Classic honey/adjunct malts, pale malts. Dry-ish, even a hint of hops, but metallic. Finish is empty. Light body, typical gristslickness; medium to good carbonation. Oh well. Interesting find. I Txs to Stef! /I

My New Country (Country No. 160). Special Thanks to mr Marek. Bottle. Piwo ze srednia piana opadajaca szybko, barwa ciemno slota lub jasno bursztynowa jak kto woli. W aromacie mokra szmata, w smaku slodowosc lekka karmelowosc chmielu nie za wiele, Bez rewelacji ale tez nie było cech nadmiernie odrzucających. jako nowy kraj czemu nie.

50cl clear glass bottle from a minimarket in Almaty. Pours hazy pale golden with a modest, white head. Grainy and almost slightly wheaty with the usual notes of cooked vegetables and hints of hops. Looks slightly more interesting than the others, but not much difference in the end.

50cl clear glass bottle from a minimarket in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan. Clear golden with a modest, white head. Another creative innovative pale lager from Efes in Kazakhstan. Or maybe it just tasted okay after a hike in the mountains. Guess it's just another grainy and sweet boring industrial lager. Another one bites the dust.... Can't really see the point.

47,5cl bottle from a random minimarket in Kyrgyzstan. Clear pale golden with a white head. Grainy with notes of ripe fruits an cooked vegetables. Another mediocre pale lager from Efes. Not really sure why I bother. Not really sure they are different either.

Clear brown pour. Subtle roasted malts nose. Sweet, caramel tones with some hops and malty tones. Ok, but not a winner

Аромат солодовый, не сильный, легкие ноты пшена, терпкость. Цвет лагера, легкая мутность, но при этом цвет золотой. Пьется отлично, очень хорошо заходит в жару. Легкие солодовые и сладкие нотки, весьма не дурная карбонизация. В целом отличный легкий лагерок
