Przecietne piwo, choc za pianke mozna pochwalic, kremowa i twozy wasy na szklance. Moze jest srednio trwala ale ladnie sie prezentuje. W smaku gozej. Zwykle piwo bez aromatu zadnego. W smaku przezadnie slodowe i troche nawet rozwodnione. Wersja Stout byla kapitalna. Tu niestety tego brak

330ml bottle from The Cave bottle shop, Glasgow (£1):
Sweet malt aroma with some corn and basic adjuncts. There is some some grassy hops and a definite grainy base to the beer. Quite light and refreshing with little evidence of any skunky aroma.
Light golden amber colour and very clear bodied with a thumb sized, bubbly white head that leaves some lacing on the glass as it goes down.
Bland to begin with although there is some sweet malts and grain with a touch of corn. I also got some light, grassy hops and a very slight touch of bitterness right at the end.
Light, almost thin bodied with some touches of sweetness and clean, well carbonated feel to the beer. It had a surprisingly refreshing taste and wasn’t all that bad.

A pleasant surprise with no skunk or other off-flavours making themselves known. The beer was definitely a light one but also quite refreshing too making it an easy beer to drink. It’s still a mass produced lager but it is a good one when you rate it alongside similar beers.

Strange maltiness in this beer. Darker flavor than other lagers from non beer countries. Oh well, i added a new country to my list. Bought at the Drinks of the World store in zurich.

The head is medium, the body golden. It smells strange, hay. The taste is watery, stale, sweet-hay. Not really my taste. 10/7/7/6/13/7

Crisp lager nose, pale yellow body and big lick of a white head. Decent enough carbonation helps carry a generous and dry amount of barley and crispbread across, but this just drys out to a manky malt and unremarkable finish.

Bottle, Marksman Tasting, Edinburgh
Thanks to Camertron for my initial tasting of this shite-ner.

Bouteille 330ml étiquetée sous le nom "Sinha Lager". De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes de maïs sucré et de houblon herbeux. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et légèrement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légèrement aqueuse aux petites notes sirupeuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle croustillants avec de faibles notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi de notes de miel avec des traces de maïs sucré (ou est-ce des traces de riz bouilli) puis en finale l’on retrouve des petites notes amères de houblon herbeux. Post-goût court et aux notes sèches, aux notes amères de houblon herbeux avec des notes de grains sucrés. (2006)

Thanks Armando! Ez egy aranysárga színű, vékony fehér habbal ellátott, enyhén büdi, igen malátás, zöldséges, szúrós, gazosan kesernyés és kissé fanyar lager turistáknak, akik a szomjhalál küszöbén állnak a trópusi időben. Én hidegben ittam, Budapesten és gyorsan lekísértem egy Grabanccal, így megúsztam különösebb károsodás nélkül. A helyszínen én is biztos nagyobb lelkesedéssel fogyasztottam volna.

Gelb und Schaumkrone im mittleren Bereich. Grasig, florale Hopfenanklänge mit süßlichem Malz. Dünner Antrunk. Getreidig, minimal brotig mit Heu im Geschmack. Der geschmacklich gar nicht mal so schlechte Hopfen ist viel zu schwachbrüstig dosiert. Keine Perle, aber trinkbar.

Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin white broken head. The aroma was a little malty leading to a weak bitter flavour with lots of malt and a rather strange aftertaste. Not a classic!

Sampled from can @ Deanso. Clear yellow-golden color with a small white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly bitter. Not much to it but no major flaws either. Low body and carbonation.
