Pale yellow, white head. Nose is papery corn. Taste is grainy, slightly sour, flour notes - like a bad parody of malt. Finish tastes like glue and grains. Somewhat oily mouthfeel, weirdly thin-but-not-quite body. For drinking in mass quantities very cold and very fast to get drunk, that’s the only use for this stuff.

1L bottle - shared by Marduk - erm, thanks!
Oh, my. This is classic corny poop. Flour and water, or wallpaper paste. Which is fitting, as its finish is pure paper. Some dry astringent chemical finish too. Horror. Just say no!

1L plastic bottle. I really can’t see any point of this beer. Its not even strong to make homeless people drunk. Typical piss lager.

1L plastic bottle. Distributed in Estonia by Saku. Quite deep golden body. Fruity esters in the aroma. Surprisingly full bodied. Taste is malty with a yeasty/fruity finish. Plain, but still richer than Saku’s own pale lagers. Just make it available in smaller bottles or cans - these big plastic bottle beers here have a reputation of being crappy hobo beers and I almost avoided buying it because of this.
