Clear yellow with a thin large bubbled-white head, particles float in the beer some of which look more like stubble than yeast. Cooked vegatables in the aroma with a tad of burnt rubber. Long chemical taste. I’m going to pour this out now.

Pours a one finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving a good lace. Almost clear, light amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Sweet honey nose. Starts sweet honey like, not cloying, more hops at finish; wierd rusty water aftertaste. $1.89 for a 500ml bottle from Lina’s Beverages Painesville, OH.

Slightly hazy straw color with small particles floating arund along with a lot of other nasty black stringy dead yeast colonies. Carbonation is very low especially for the style. Head is low and dissipates fast. Aroma is sweet with malt with a slight stale smell. Flavor is sweet with almost no hop detection. Finish is also lacking hops. The only thing good about this beer is that it is exceptionally smooth- probably due to the low carbonation. I drank about 1/3rd then dumped it becuase I couldnt get over all the floaties.

Straw in color,small white head with large loose bubbles that quickly disapates. Aroma of vegetables,bitter flavor,spicy and licorice.

I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was only giving ratings to the beers but was too lazy and stupid to write down my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.

Small white head, ok retention. Clear gold color, nice lace. Malty sweet nose. Light/medium body.Malty, grainy flavors, some oxydation. Finish is dry with a hint of hop spiceyness. Not a bad roosky beer. Hate to disagree(with the majority) but its no worse than a bud.

light in body and color. Taste was mildly sweet at first and finsihed with a very light hoppy note. Hops seemed to be a mix of floral notes and bitter notes

Light amber with a frothy head. Toffee-ish aroma. Very short, but bitter, flavour.

Light amber color. Flat body. Some hensfood aroma. Watery with a "light czech" hoppy feel. Bitter tone without beeing pleasantly bitter the way a beer should feel. Long, stale and papery finish.

Simply put, this beer is just plain horrendous. Far worse than Budweiser, it it truly disgusting. In a word - medicinal. Horribly medicinal, like some strong cough syrup you might take if you had a hacking, phlegmy cough. Or like an herbal lozenge. One suspects that this beer could be used to clean drains.
