Bottled 500ml. -Brought by a friend from Kazakhstan. Posh green bottle with pull off cap and snow leopard (Irbis) relief on it. Golden coloured, small to medium white head that went away fast, dusty grainy nose. Mild malty, slight lemony hoppy and rice with hint of alcohol in the finish. The best of three Kazakhstan beers I’ve tried but still far away from good beer.

Jagshemash! This beer also ogivlado share dzienkuje! Green bottle of sıra so beautiful it work of many Kazakhstan artisanals and national monument! Very nice! Irbis is national snow cat of mountain we eat for lunch every day when picknick in Tienshan mountain. Much taste! Beer golden more than sun in glorious national flag so that national treason and brewery executed.Head small like brewery love of flag! The smell come of grain which produced by our national malteries in malt which tasty and sweet but here it dry in smell. Some dust from desert sneak into bottle evil dust it goes everywhere when in desert! Even in my wife! Malt main taste and it soft like cushion but odd like cushion wet. My cushion rarely wet! But taste dry so that strange. Taste light acidity hop near end that taste like odd so no jew hop. But sulphur so maybe put egg instead of hop? This beer strange but more strong than other so more alcohol and taste. Great success!

A awesome 500 ml bottle with a crazy pull-tap cap on it. A big thanks goes to John who picked this up in Uzbekistan for me. My first Kazakh beer (duh). Pours a crystal clear golden color with a fizzy white foam head. The aroma is pleasant; lots of grassy notes, malts and honey. The flavor is very similar; sweet honey and malts. Light alcohol and very grassy and pretty clean. I didn’t detect any bitterness that others have mentioned. A nice Pale Lager. Rating number 1300.

.5 l green pull-top bottle. Skunky aroma. Pours a clear gold color with a white head. Light body with a very sweet flavor balance from the pale malt. Slightly astringent character with a slightly coarse hop bitterness. Overall, a bit "coarse".

Hazy dark straw colour. Hay-like hops and naan-like malts give this lager a very appealing aroma. The flavour - while slightly sour - still retains at least some of these elements.

Golden coloured. Average sweetness. Rather bitter. Somewhat unclean.
