Can, 500 ml, 11P
Appearance: Pours almost perfectly clear, but with some micro sediment floating in the body texture, body is pale golden or in fact yellowish in colour, carbonation of body is weak, head is initially small, foamy, quickly decreasing and finally disappearing, white in colour, no lacing, nothing worth special interest.
Aroma: Tap water, very weak, a kind of little bit sweet, light, honey like, reminding plain, wattery, refreshing Pale Lager, weak but pleasant, very clean. I give 3 for aroma, also in order to compensate the grade for appearancr, a kind of faint graphite hint manifesting hops.
Flavour: Nice, easy going, medium carbonated on palate, diacetyl, rubber, clean grains, no additional sweetness, simple, nothing repulsive, well balanced and mild, cheap nice Lager, good for a hot days or to dine with, finish duration is rather short, still water is dominating over all ingredients.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is soft, finish feel is chalky a bit, but generally clean and mineral.

Can from LIDL, Kosice, Slovakia (BB 12/2008)
Golden color, small white head. Annoying yeasty-fruity-cardboard aroma. Fizzy. Sweet fruity-malty flavor, quite watery. Does not taste bad, does not taste much of anything. Less annoying than the most of Slovakian lagers I bought from supermarkets.

Can 500 ml
Appearance: medium deep shade of gold with fairly decent white top.
Nose: Soft grassy aroma followed by grain like touches. Note of dusty honey.6-
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied. Fairly clean lager with slight oily body and light grassy metallic green hop side. Plain , straight even smooth but also bit boring. Decent surprise to see softer less carbonated lager with solid body at discount store.
