1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
500ml bottle from some kiosk in Murmansk. Clear golden body. Smells mainly of lemon, like from the cleansing agent I use for my bathroom. The taste of papier mâché, sweaty cheese, grain and a sweet finish, at least makes it interesting, but not in a good way really. But I want to give some credit for design. (Shared at XIV Session 22.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2012 Nice bottle 50cl from an Armenian shop but the rest is less interesting, a low aroma beer with wet paper notes and dusty hops, no body, no hops flavor, very boring.

Bottle 440 ml. Helles Bier, not pasteurized. Bottled on 19.01.12, BB 19.05.2012. Pours pale yellow golden with clear body with white frothy head. Some lacing. Aromas sweet malts, grains, floral hops, herbs. Palate medium full-bodied. Carbonation soft smooth with slick mouth feel. Taste is sweet malts, with plums, hoppy fruitiness. Aftertaste mild sweet and medium short hops finish with some soupy flavours. Easy to drink, altough slighty sweet, the floral hoppy edge at the end makes this quite an enjoyble beer.
