50cl bottle at my hotel room in Yerevan. Clear pale yellow with a small white head. Pretty standard industrial lager. Light and slightly watery with the usual sweet and lightly malty flavour. Drinkable, but hardly memorably. (Backlog from Armenia trip in 2010 - tasted: 2010-06-01)

500ml bottle, shared at the XI. Beer Session in Tårnrommet 18. Nov 2010. Clear yellow body, with filmy layer. Smells of sunflowers, but has a rather unpleasant taste of bread, yeast, sunflowers and Soviet mineral water (salty!). Thanks to Kostja for bringing it to Tromsø from Murmansk.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits and lighter notes of straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and cardboard as well as lighter notes of straw.

Thanks to Konstantin for bringing a 500ml bottle from Murmansk. Chalk white head, short-lived duration, over a clear, golden coloured body. Weak aroma of pale malts and rise. Fruity malts in flavour with notes of grain-like cardboard. Foamy in the mouth. Drying palate. Thin bodied (shared at a rating session in Tromsø, 18.11.2010).

500ml bottle (Rimi, Riga)
5- Initially quite a corny aroma, but on settling in the glass it builds up a decent breadiness, some cake spiciness too.
2 Pale, brief head.
5 Simple, but grainy taste, some pleasant esters, a hint of hop, perhaps even pellets rather than extract, not sure.
2 Quite thin, but with decent carbonation to keep it from being too dull in the mouth (yet not fizzy either).
9 Not hugely intereststing, but certainly not an unpleasant pale lager. For 4% has a reasonable amount of character to it.

Bottle 500ml.
Clear medium to dark yellow color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, grain, toasted, corn, sweet malt, light vegetable. Flavor is light moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20100119]

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a pale yellow with a slight haze an a dense and frothy white head. Lightly malty nose - has an edge of unfermented grain. Medium body, lightly sweet malt and a very subdued bitterness. 190110

Botella from Maxima supermarket, Vilnius. Clear nice golden colour. Malty and hoppy wet grassy aroma. Ok mouthfeel. Flavour: bit malty with grassy hops. Dry finish. Quite drinkable pale lager.

1L Bottle - Golden with a foamy white head. Malty and grainy aroma with a hint of bread and corn. Clean tasting with malt and some faint hoppy elements. Drinabkle and refreshing, but bland.
