500ml screwcap bottle poured a deep golden color with a small white head and some thin lacing. Aroma is cereal grains and some hops. Taste is lightly sweet malts with a hint of caramel and a mild hop bitterness in the end. Light to moderate body and moderate carbonation give this beer a nice mouthfeel. A good example of this style of beer.

Golden amber pour with small white head. Aroma is malty and sweet caramel. Nice creamy mouthfeel and flavour is malty sweet with a touch of hops. Not bad.

Draught at Beer O’Clock, Bucharest, Romania. Hazy pale amber, creamy head. Fruity nose with slight caramel. Light-medium bodied with soft body. Creamy and mildly caramelly with fairly low hop rate and light butgrowing bitterness. Pleasant, relaxed and hugely drinkable.

Strong golden yellow color with good foaming. Hoppy-grainy aroma, slightly sweet. Starts very grainy-sweet, a little corn comes through. The aftertaste shows a bit more hop aroma, but also very sweet. The further course is very sweet and grainy, with a hint of hops.

It pours a pale golden color with a small white head that falls to a thin ring. It has a small amount of lacing on the sides. The aroma is nothing really special. I am getting some grains,wheat and a little sweetness. The flavor has some wheat notes present and sweet malt,grains. It appears to have some light honey notes It finishes with some grassy hops. It feels like most of the other euro lager’s I have had, I could take it or leave it

Pours a clear piss yellow. The aroma is grassy malt and honey. The flavor is musty, grassy, and dusty. Just too earthy and simple for my taste.

Bottle. Some asshole rep. left this one for me. I hope he dies of dick cancer. Pours clear gold, medium head, nice persistence, lovely lacing. Nose is grainy, with light noble hops, no adjunct aromas, but loads of eathiness. Flavours are apples, earth, like a Rhone white wine, no off notes, but nothing fantastic either. Very bland, dull, perhaps my North American palate cannot discern the subtlety, or this is just boring and shitty. One of those things. Probably the latter.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear golden with a tiny white head. Sweet malty nose. Medium body, sweet candy-like malts with some flowery hops. Dry finish. 170910
