16.9 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a slightly hazy orange color that seems vibrant and almost artificial. Large head, fair head retention and much lacing. Aroma is grain, sweet malts, corn and green apple. Taste is very bitter and grassy with a finish of sweet malts and syrupy fruits. Sticky texture and medium bodied.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
500 ml. Deep golden color, frothy white head. Floral aroma with some alcohol. Full malty flavor with some alcohol in the finish. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Somewhat heavy, but not really bad.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Got this because it was a new country. Poured a slightly dark gold with an off white head that left some residue. Aroma of corn, bread, something akin to alcohol and sweet malt. Flavor was pretty blah and watery. Slightly sweet. Not much hopping in the finish. A bit to one dimensional, but not really bad tasting.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
500 ml bottle. Finland.
Golden with small head.
Quite nice for Baltic Strong Lager. No Alcohol flavour.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy, darkish gold color with a multi-finger frothy white head. Aroma of fruit and spice - likely Noble - hop. Medium body with creamy carbonation. It’s really quite tasty. There’s arguably a touch of heat. The flavors are malt with some noticeable hop. It’s a little like a malt liquor, but has much more flavor. A pretty good East Euro lager.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
500ml Bottle - Golden in colour with a foamy head. Slightly sweet and fruity aroma with a hint of honey and malt. Grainy taste with cereal and some sweet and fruity notes. Goes down quite well for the strength but there is not much to it.
