UPDATED: SEP 22, 2010 Bottled. A light gold coloured beer with a thin whitish head. The aroma is grassy and a bit sickly. The taste has some reasonable bitterness but it’s all a bit Eurofizzy. Score 1.9
Subsequent rating scored 2.7. Average becomes 2.3

While this one was the third of four differnt Romanian beers my friend "smuggled" back into the US for me, I was expecting more garbage like the first two. However this one suprised me, because it wasn’t actually bad compared to the first two. This was was very crisp, nicely hopped, no aftertaste of corn or formaldahyde. I was just a nice beer. I can see this one going down very nicely after a long walk (or run, depending on who you and where you are) thru the streets of Bucharest or Transylvania or perhaps Miklosvar. All in all, my favorite so far of the Romania brews. If stranded in Romania, get this one."

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Golden lager with a decent head. Very aromatic - although from a nondescript source, it’s not just the hops.... Quite dry without much hop character. Underlying sweetness. Not that bad - for Romania that is. 290603

Sweet and bitter with very clean palate. Pale golden color, medium head and body. An Interbrew clone.

Possibly if this were the last availbable beer on the shelf it would taste OK, otherwise choose another beer for your own good.

Light aroma, just a bit grainy. Pale yellow color, white head, fair lace. Light sweet, light bitter, light malty. More bitter in the finish.

Canned(500ml). -pale yellow, bitter and to sweet

Pale yellow German style pilsener. Dry, bitter and clean. Quite nice.
