Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Head is rather foamy and quite quickly disappearing, body is madium, colour of the head is white, head has rather no lacing, head is mostly diminishing, initially head is average than decreases to a small crown around the rim of the glass, body colour is bright golden reminding very light pilsener, body is clear and sparkling, density is thin.
Aroma: Has a bit of pilsener, some barley malts of Bohemia and some hoppy refreshing bitterness, very chalky, a bit dull, a hint of soap, a bit of a rubber, a hints of some artificial skunkyness.
Flavour: A first impression is: ONLY WATER, it’s like palest lager, looks like beer, smells like beer, tastes like water with a dish liquid, a hint of lemon bitterness, saltyness, finish duration is short, no barley malts, no hops, no yeasts, generally water, no pilsener.
Palate: Very wattery, finish is chalky, very wattered bitterness.

Bottle(kindly delivered by Imro!): Golden, visible carbonation, small+stable white head, thin sweetish-bitter papery-almpnfy nose, a slight bitterness detectable; almost watery, weak sweet-bitter flavour; finishes like mineral water. Yawn…

ElDesmadre (476) - Mikołów, POLAND - JUN 8, 2011
Bottle. Yellow with a frothy but quickly dissipating head. Aroma is very weak - grainy, some hay, apples, plus soap and skunk. Taste is mainly water, plus some wet cardboard and very faint apples. Low bitterness. Very bad.

Koelschtrinker (7060) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 23, 2011
Dünner, etwas pappiger Antrunk, der schnell die klaren Zeichen eines Alkoholentzugs aufweist. Minimalst herb und hell-malzig, diese Töne sind aber sehr schnell wieder verschwunden. Dünnes und langweiliges Bier. 4/4/6/5/5/4

JorisPPattyn (6730) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - FEB 16, 2011
Very light metallic-golden beer, heavily carbonated to fluffy white head. Caramelly hint in the nose, with some very discreet herbal hops and stale rainwater. Watery pale malts solution, with some faint retronasal cookie-sweetness. Spritzy, watery and empty. Definitely not Slovakia’s best. OTOH, worthy of Heineken. Thanks to Peter V!
