Probably, the best session beer in Moldova today. Classic golden color, medium white head, spicy herbal aroma, very clean malty palate and aromatic dry hoppy aftertaste. Well done pilsner.

On tap and in plastic bottles. A little stronger and denser than regular blondă 4.5/12 vs 4.0/11. Same deep golden color with low head, no lacing and low carbonation. Aroma is grainier, some hops, herbs and same booze. Flavour a little bolder, less bitterness, and more aromatic hops. A little different from blondă, and not so good at the end.

06/05 Sampled from a 1l plastic bottle opened the day before on another tasting, thanks ogivlado to bring it here to us. So, it poured golden body with medium sized head. Weak corny aroma, but shows a little bit of hops as well. Weak flavor, malty and slightly stale corny. Very short and watery finish could be all it can give. It lost carbonation a bit, but I don’t believe we would benefit any more of it otherwise.

green plastic bottle 1000ml. -Dark golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, sourish nose. Sweetish malty, slight herbal and not so pleasant eggy taste with light acidic hoppy notes. Vinous salty finish. Not so good but still better than Bruna.

From a plastic bottle shared to me and heavy by ogivlado
Uhh, guess things have changed since ’03. Admittedly, the sample wasn’t in perfect condition, but one could see what it was like fresh. In any case, it poured a golden body with a medium sized white head (surprise surprise). The stale, sweaty fruity malty nose was cleary due to the "age" of the sample, but it showed no really redeemable features underneath. The taste was relatively empty, papery, with some slightly acidic hop, very light and no real bitterness. Saltyish, dull lager. Yay.
