Can.Pours golden with a white head.Aroma is fruity, floral and malty.Flavor is sweet and malty with some dusty and fruity notes.Medium to thin body, average carbonation.

500ml bottle in a shaker. Pours light golden with a thick, white head. Aroma of cereal and toasted malts. Flavor about the same with less tin than a lot of pale lagers. A decent beer for this style.

500ml bottle, shared at the Euston Tap on 15 January 2011. Many thanks to Leighton for bringing this back from Bulgaria. Mid gold colour. Boiled vegetable to the fore in the aroma. Rather grainy on the palate with just a sprinkling of grassy hop. Reasonably clean. Not the worst pale lager I’ve had. Or even the worst pale lager from Bulgaria I’ve had.

Plastic bottle bought in Albena Bulgaria by Henrik. Clear golden color with small head. Some sweet hops and bitterness but a metalic synthetic flavour.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. Pale gold. Thin whote head. Some baked bean and boiled vegetable. Its a bit better in mouth but not by much. But its pretty poor. That is quite poor.
