Can, many. Bright gold, fizzy, scant head fades fast. Aroma is soda water at first, inoffensive mild malt sugars, cereal. As it warms it smells a little more sour-stinky but not so bad. Thin, watery, a bit cloying but not too bad. Moderate carbonation but is gassy. Served cold, does not taste bad at all although could use more hops. Overall a decent swill and beats the more sulfuric Cypriot beer Keo by quite a bit.

The head is not robust. The colour is yellow. It tastes malty and watery also a bit metals. 8/6/6/6/10/6

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks zvikar. Clear pale golden with a minimal white head. Cooked veggies and corn aroma, bland, buttery taste. Lively carbonation, oily texture, short finish. Ugh.
