I thought Baltika 7 was bad but this is even worse. Bought from a supermarket in Kazakhstan. A Carlsberg Kazakhstan beer. I found it rather bitter and actually squinted when drinking it. A really poor lager.

kaziopiwosz (255) - Warszawa / Wałbrzych, POLAND - MAY 23, 2013
Lightly bitter in taste with grassy nutes in taste and palate. Somewhat watery. Short finish. Thin, snowy head, stays for half a minute. Very light colour. Not the best choice.

Bottle at home. Pale golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of grainy lager, quite clean, a hint of German hops. Flavor is slightly bitter, quite watery, but clean for a lager.

jmagnus87 (1450) - Rockford, Illinois, USA - APR 17, 2013
24oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of mostly grains with a little skunk. Taste is light sweet with a little corn and grains. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, meh. Ive had worse but this isnt much to talk about.

wildbeercat (136) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 6, 2013
16.9 fl oz / 500mL bottle into a pint glass. Aroma: Cereals, especially corn. Average lager smell. Appearance: Completely clear dark yellow. Surprisingly, this has a decent soapy head that actually stays around a bit. Well, longer than you’d expect. Taste: Slightly sweet malt. Tastes like a lager. Palate: Not watery, but pretty light-bodied. Overall: Not a bad lager. But it looks, smells, tastes, and feels like most other lagers out there. Average beer.

From the 25 fl. oz bottle marked: 2507.12-05:07/2507.13-0-W. Just like many of its counterparts this one pours pale yellow with a moderate fizzy white head that lingers a little. The aroma is grainy malts and clean hops but not very invigorating. The body is light and slightly acidic. The taste is the way a pale lager should be with a good supply of grains, thin bitterness, and slightly sweet.

jgb9348 (4027) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - MAR 25, 2013
Clear golden coloured body with a nice white head and a crisp glow. Aroma of alcohol, metal, malt, a hint of rice and a bit of very light hops. Light-bodied; Fresh malt flavours with some honey notes, a bit of grass and a light hop and floral note to finish off. Aftertaste shows relatively light flavours with rice, metal, malt and a hint of citrus. Overall, a decent light beer with some okay flavours and a hint of a metallic and medicinal flavour to finish off. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased at Cairo Liqour in Washington, DC sampled after a hockey game on 18-March-2013.

Pours slightly hazy gold with a small, quick, white head. Fairly nondescript lager aroma. Taste is corn malt, grain. Drinkable and light.
