0.5l can, 4.7% at some store in Split
Poured a yellow/golden colour and a medium sized white head that went away relatively fast. Lovely, but faint pure honey aroma (as in honey, not the honey beer aroma). The taste is... missing. Whooo. Some nice malty sweetness and fruitiness and nothing else. Watery. Maaaybe some hops show up (aftertaste mainly), but still... Good for swilling I guess as it’s not offensive, smooth, and keeps a low profile, but a good beer, no. Still, it’s quite good for a cheap beer whose main marketing point is, according to the big letters on the frot of the can, that it’s pasteurized. As it warmed it actually got better... The flavours in it are quite nice and complement each other rather well, but they really shoud’ve been more pronounced.

Cool dude on front of label. Probably not as cold as it shou;d be. poured from a bomber size bottle. Pale lager look with a decent white head. Rolling carbonation is apparent within. Initial taste is pilsner bite, a bit sharp at times. Smell is a tad metallic. Pointed bitye builds thru the session. Finish is like many pilsners; quite sharp and lingering. Probably should not be in the pale lager style.

Golden colored with etiolated foam head. Decent, crisp lager grainy malt and German hops in aroma. Crisp flavor with pleasant malt in the background. Light cereal graininess. Dry mildly grain tannic sour finish. Not my style, but not bad for the style.

pale yellow to gold, active carbonation, active bubbly head that fell quickly to a film. weak sweet aroma, thin mouthfeel, but nice blast of hops in the sip. crisp finish.

Drank on Elizabeth’s birthday--Poured a light hazy golden body with a fluffy white head. Nutty, creamy, cereal nose. Very creamy on the tongue. Favorable subtle smooth finish, but pretty lame overall as for extremeness. Word.

660ml. Pale golden body, clear. Frothy white head, rapidly diminishing. Aromas of hay, toast, bread, grass and honey. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Light to medium body, thin, watery texture and lively carbonation. Nice pils aroma. Too thin in the body. Simple beer, but refreshing.

Bottled 0,50L (ABV 4,7%). Creamy and adherent head, discreet persistence. Golden yellow color, limpid and light fizzy. Simple and herbaceous scent with bitterish and malty notes on the end. Pleasantly prickly taste with light alcoholic tone. Cereal and malty notes with rumors of straw on the end. Modest and watery bitter final. There’s something to save.

0,5l can. Pale yellow color. Medium white head appears, only to disappear quickly. Watery, very faint malty aroma. Corn, malty, watery, woody in flavor. Never again.

New bomber at the local shop. Normally I wouldn’t buy any more Euro beers from this place since they all seem to be very old, but this was a new item and it had a date stamp reassuring me that all was well. Although my numbers seem mediocre to low this was a very enjoyable lager. Aroma of plain cereal that is lightly sweetened with some grassy hops in the nose. Crystal clear gold color, the pour produced a fluffy white head that blanketed the glass leaving tons of lacing. Soft and light to the palate, the aftertaste is too sweet. Drinks easy and has a cream ale effect. Grainy and grassy with some mild hop flavors. Apples are evident as well in small doses. Pleasant $3 bomber, simple but it works.
