Sampled draught at the brewpub in Budapest. Delicious hoppy Lager - one of the best of the type I’ve ever had. A rich hoppy flavour - fruity but not overpowering. Lime and shrubbiness like an English real ale, but colder and more immediatly refreshing. Very good.

Clear, crisp golden with foamy head. Upscale looking lager. Nose is pretty fresh and dry. Body is soapy lager and clean flavor. Grass, wheat and a touch sour. Finishes quite bitter with honey and green tea, and nicely dry. Probably the highlight here. This is tasty and a cut above this style around here.

Draught at the brewpub. Pale, full, grainy and quite hoppy lager with a lovely malt-sack aroma. Quite rich maltiness balanced with late bitterness and citrus but overall it’s malty. Good.

Draught at the brewpub. Pale cloudy golden colour with decent head. Pale malty nose, fruity and flowery hops. Fruity flavour with creamy body and low bitterness. Tasty and elegant herbal hop profile. Smooth but not really crisp. In short, I just liked it.

Appearance: Cloudy straw-yellow color with a diminsishing bubbly white foam.
Aroma: Musty nutshells with a big load of freshly mown hay.
Flavor: Nice mellow nutty-malty sweetness spiced with a very gentle grassy hops.
Mouthfeel/Palate: Soft and easy body with a mouthfilling, thick yeast quality
Overall: Fresh and fine lager.

Draught at the brewpub. You can drink it only here. This beer has a golden color with a medium head. The aroma shows malt and yeast. Moderated carbonation and a good, malt flavour with a light hop taste, smoothly mouthfeel. Nice light-hop aftertaste. The micro-brewery is wonderfull! Classical one with a unique technology.

Pours a pale golden colour with small white head. Sweet malty and pleasant hoppy aroma with moderate bitterness in the finish. Good thirst- quencher while you’re waiting for waiter at least 25-30 minutes to order a food.

Draught at the brewpub. Poured a nice pale golden colour, small persistent white head. The nose was odd, yeast, hop (kinda reminding me of capers overall). Grainy, almost husky taste, surrounded by a nice lemony hopiness. Dry, almost salty finish, with a nice bitterness in the end. Didn’t thrill me, but I thought it was quite nice anyway. Compared to the average fare in Hungary, this is brilliant.

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2004 Sampled draught at the brewpub.
Clear pale golden, creamy head. Sweet and malty with creamy mouthfeel, yet with deep malt flavour. salty bitterish finish.

Draught at Kaltenberg Sorozo, Budapest. Rough notes from July 08. Clear pale gold with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma, in a good way and good use of hops. Good malty flavour, medium bodied, finishes smooth with some bitterness.
