Bottled(500ml). -Yellow coloured, medium sized soapy white head, lively carbonation, corn cereals nose. Thin and watery, light salty with notes of maize. Typical Hungarian 3.0% beer. Completely expected, I would have been worried if it was better or worse.

Bottle. This one has seen better years, a few decades ago. Pours pale yellow, very weak white head. Almost zero aroma, its taste is watery, forgettable.

Nagyon halvány szalmasárga szín, jó gyorsan leapadó habbal. Teljesen jellegtelen, nagyon picit malátás és kartonpapíros illat. Az íze gyakorlatilag semmilyen, de szúrós, savanyú, vizes, jellegtelen egy vacak, teljesen felesleges egy készítmény.

0.5 l bottle, thanks to Doggythedog for sharing! It poured pale yellow body with medium sized head. Lemony and somewhat corny aroma. Crappy and strange bitterish, sour corn and sweetish malty flavor. Very thin with only a little bit of that strange and unpleasant bitterness remained in the finish. Not so awfully bad as some other Hungarian gems, but bad enough for sure.

0.5l bottle purchased somewhere in Budapest, shared with heavy.
Poured a very pale golden bo0dy with a big white head that went away fast. Slightly salty, vegetably nose, some pollen and malt. Better than the average 3.0% Hungarian supermarket lager. And so’s the taste. Sweet malty, bready taste, some salt, some herbal notes, some egg. Gets worse later on actually but still far from the worst option in Hungary, not that that’s saying much or anything at all.

Éppensárga, halvány szín, a tetején fényesen habzó és hamar összeeső habbal. jellegtelen sörillat, jellegtelen íz. Ha csapolva innám, azt mondanám erősen felvizezték mire hozzám került...

0.5 l bottle. Clear pale colour, quickly collapseing, broad head, average carbonation. Watery smell of grain (maize) and malt. Sweetish taste, flavour’s grainy, light-sourish, body’s watery, thin. Finish is light-bitter. For me allover unpleasant and the more it’s getting warmer, the more it’s gonna be worse...

Eredetileg a Nagykanizsai Sörgyár egyen (10,5-ös) pasztőrözetlen világos söre. A 2000-es évek elején a Dreher Sörgyár is gyártotta, de minek.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2008 You can buy it in the hungarian Lidl. The beer has an unexpected appearance with a nice head and a pale golden color. The aroma is yeasty but slips away quickly. The taste is like a light solution of vinegar with maize without any carbonation and with a watery texture. Nasty acidic aftertaste. Another terrible mass-producted Dreher-brand...
