Canned(500ml). -sixth and the last supermarket (coincidentally again Tesco) beer from my recent trip to Hungary and once again very poor. Pale golden, little white head, fizzy, bready and corny and very watery

Can. Yellow color with minimum white head. Aroma, very watery, some sourness, grain. Taste pretty the same. Bad.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, rated in Bogacs, Hungary.
Appearance: Pours pale yellow, perfectly clear and weakly carbonated body, looks preety dull, head is non-impressive too, it is greyish white, fizzy, frisky, initially small and quickly diminishing, leaves no lacing.
Aroma: Is of a watered down, cooked corn, preety dull, some weak notes of corn and almost non-existant barley malt, no hops, no skunk, no yeast, no alcohol, slightly grainy, stale, old water, unimpressive and totally boring, almost non-existant but not strongly negative.
Flavour: Very flat, light, completely watered down, slightly mineral, notes of cardboard, worked down cooked corn, very negative element is the presence of sulphur impression, notes of acid, salty touches on palate, completely thin, rusty a bit, finish duration is short.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is high, finish feel is neutral, flat, non-existant like after drinking water.

4/7 0.5 l can Doggythedog brought from Budapest, thanks for sharing. It poured pale golden body with small head that went down fast without leaving any trace. Aroma of bad white whine, sourish with just a bit of grains. Oh my...don’t tell me this is like Konigsberg...ouch! Flavor was bit less winey than it, had less offensive "spices", some grainy things are felt, and it was lot thinner in body. As Doggythedog said, seems like watered down Konigsberg. All this makes it better therefore! Still, it’s a boring and bad brew. Couldn’t finish it either.

Can, bought in a little deli. Poured pale yellow with no head. Straw and grassy aroma with a minimal malt and some boiled vegetables. Watery body, weak malt and grainy taste, unpleasant hop in the finish. Cheep beers.....

Can purchased somewhere in Budapest, shared with heavy. Shiny yellow body, white head that goes away fast. Very light oily grainy nose, some veggies. Very watery, cardboard and some light grain. Probably watered down Königsberg. Not as foul as it’s boring and pointless.

Can, 3.0%. Pale yellow colour. White head. Thin flavour. Mildly bready, but not really unpleasant. Hint of grain.

Canned. Yellow with a frothy, white head. Aroma from really sour maize. Thin and watery without any hint of flavour.
