Eructoblaster (1253), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jul 11, 2008 Can - 500ml. Pale gold body with fair white bubbly head. Boring malty/hoppy aroma with some chemical hints. Fair hoppy taste that lacks complexity and ends with a short bitter finish.
heavy (471), Split, Croatia Aug 23, 2008 0.5 l can shared with Doggythedog, huge thanks! Poured golden body with smaller head. Malty, mostly dusty nose with some citrus hops and notes of corn besides. Flavor...what is this!? Metallic, soapy, ugly industrial bitter as well. After few sips poor palate gets used to it so some corn becomes evident but it’s strange anyway, ranging between sour, bitter and sweet. Drinkable to some stage, but still with awful bitter finish. How the hell can someone launch such beer I don’t know, obviously they miss someone who will actually try their crap before putting it on the market. Doggythedog (966), Split, Croatia Aug 23, 2008 0.5l can (5%, 11.5°) courtesy of a friend who lugged it halfway through the Balkans from Romania (huge thanks, Krešimir!) After two beers of dubious "quality", this. Poured a pale, slightly gilded yellow colour with a small white head that went away fast. The nose was a bit better on this one, dusty malt, light hop and alcohol. The taste started out as light and sweetish, subdued, with pretty much nothing there except some grainy malt. And then the skeletons started coming out of the closet. Corn, alcohol, metal, acidic appley hopiness, all showing up at times and then disappearing soon leaving the maltiness to fight with the next off flavor. It developed a bitter aftertaste at a point but hey. This mess couldn’t be saved by anything. Crap. After three beers of dubious "quality"... drpimento (478), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jul 26, 2008 I think this is one of the better of Romania’s beers. Poured with a nice foamy, frothy head, white with fine bubbles. Good lace. Pleasant golden yellow hue. Mild slightly sweet nose and beery. Flavor’s grainy, a bit of hops, and pale malt. Bit thin. But stlll quite drinkable. Clean. Balanced. Smooth. Nice finish. CQC (216), Sydney, Australia Jul 15, 2008 looks like a beer, smells like a beer - taste like a cross between an English A Czech beer.
Again - Romainian underrated beer. Easy drink, Enough taste to be manly & to get fucked up on.
