Blonde colour. Aroma of bready malts, some cereal notes, slight grassiness. The medium body shows similar profile, slight mineral and a finish that turns more bitter and slightly saaz-y.

very pale light uninteresting with white head. nothing much to say just another bulky piss

Bottle... Lightly hazed golden lager with a small, wispy, then creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Lactic, beefy and biscuity aroma. Fairly well-balanced flavor; medium sweetness and moderate, metallic bitterness. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Lengthy, bitter-sweet finish.

Earthy aroma. Cloudy honey gold pour with ample foamy white head. Grain and honey in the body with a grainy burn on the way down.

Aroma is grassy straw. Taste is similar a decent body with easy going though nothing special.

sweet honey, corn, grain aroma. hazy gold with a large frothy white head. vigorous lacing. medium bodied. sweet flavor using pale malts. palate is pretty boring. clean finish. cool "thermo-sign".

Interesting bottle, created using some non-Euclidean geometry. The beer? Not too bad. Nice golden body, carbonated, but bereft of head. The aroma is of fresh bread with a covering of herbal hops. The flavor is a sweet, grainy taste with perhaps just a touch of corn. It finished on a sweet note garnished with a dash of hop bitterness. Drinkable.

I drank this beer (pivo) with my dad with red beans and rice he’d made us. The bottle was very strange because it had sides to it, as if to form some geometrical shape. The taste was of wheat and...corn? Too much on the corn though, but a pleasant blend of spices is present. Enjoyable, but a bit unbalanced and overly aggressive.

Cloudy golden color with a very small dense milk colored head. Side of glasses is fully covered with bubbles. Bread and grains dominate the aromas with a touch of herbal hops. Decent malt and light vanilla flavors in the start, which suddenly take a turn and head down the slope out of bounds. Dry flowers and herbs seem to take over and both dry out the mouth and makes my face wince. To assertive in the finish otherwise not a bad brew.

(Bottled, 1.0l plastic, BBE 10/2004) Pale yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet, candy-lemony aroma with a hint of cardboard. Corny-malty, slightly sweet and acidic flavor with cardboard. Quite dry, bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied, slightly sugary palate with medium carbonation. Quite strange brew - or a bad bottle.

Medium yellow and slightly cloudy; foamy head. Creamy and smooth body with a mild carbonation. Sweet malt base with notes of bread dough, light crackers, and honey. Spicy and grassy hops provided a mild bitterness. Had a little earthiness to it; kind of yeasty. Sweetness was a little much.
