1 l PET, bought at the brewery.
Clear golden beer with a small lacing white head. Malt and vegetables in the aroma with sourish yeast. Watery texture, boiled vegetables, metallic notes, unpleasant character, not balanced...

(plastic bottle, 100cl) Hazy, golden colour with a blond and short foamy head. Slightly yeasty malty aroma with a buttery and milky touch. Sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly buttery malt-character with shy grainy spots and a rising hoppy bitterness from the middle part; sweet-bitter finish with a mildly woody hoppy touch. 12.V.12

Bottle from brewery. Dark golden color with huge white head. Aroma of malt, fruity hints, honey. Taste, malt, yeast, grain, fruity hints, nice bitterness. Long bitter finish. Drinkable beer.

Pirítós Pub, Budapest. Közepesen sötét, áttetsző arany szín, tetején közepes méretű tömör fehér habbal. Illata malátás és mézes, meglehetősen édeskés, ugyan nem rossz, de hamar lefáraszt kortyolgatás közben. Különben meglehetősen íztelen, enyhén édes malátás jellegű, szintén malátás utóízzel. Vizes, túl szénsavas és túl édes, egyszerű világos ászoksör. Hát akadnak nem kicsit jobbak a szortimentben, de biztosan erre is van igény.

There seems to be some variety of filtration quality going on here. The beer I had from the same pictured bottle does not resemble the previous ratings whatsoever. Pours a thick dense honey haze with a thin, oily, white head. Certainly not filtered. an intense Oak/ wine barrel/ yeast overtone with a strong yeaste tang for finish. A tinge of light smoke. Strong, steady carbonation for the hour long consumption. Some very intricate and lasting lacing. This seemed pretty far from a Slovak pale lager for me. More of a sour smoked ale. If so, it was pretty good.

bottle, kindly donated by Cuso - thank you! Hazy pale yellow, large white head. Malty base, grainy, quite nice aromatic hops throughout, esopecially in the lingering finish. Good one.
