resin, toast, bread, cheese, rotten eggs, pale, hazy, minimal head, light sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, light body, creamy, average carbonation,

Nothing bad on in except there was nothing to remember about it. Just a little sweet and soft. NIce creamy sensations and some foam.

Nice smooth, drinkable lager from the Ukraine. Pleasant aroma of bread and hay, taste is similar with hints of lemon (trace). tasty and quenching...nice!

resin, grass, bread, leaves, golden, clear, minimal head, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body, slick feel, soft carbonation, bitter Golden pour with minimal white head. Foam disappears quickly. Spruce/green grass/ hay aroma with some sweet bread. Light taste of bread with some citrus. Light bitterness. Mouthfeel is slick with very light carbonation. Finishes clean with a slight lingering bitterness. Overall, a decent beer, but a bit on the sweet side.

Bottle. Green lable, different design, but the Cyrillic lettering seems to match and the ABV is right. Medium golden, clear, nice compact white head with decent retention and healthy lace. Aroma is cereal with grassy and floral accents. Clean cereal grain flavour, undertones of dried flowers, mild bitterness in the finish. Crisp, with excellent carbonation. I know that may sound weird, but this beer just hit it for me. I thought for sure this was a pilsener, as it seemed like a textbook example of one to me. I enjoyed this far more than I anticipated.

Cheers for first of many of the evening Joris... I seemed to go against the grain on this one in the tasting ... Im not a lager fan, but fould this one palatable ... Golden Yellow colour ... Typical lager hop nose ... fruity ... watery mouthfeel ... ligth clean hop ... little mellow malt in linger.

Bottle from nostalgia. Aroma is pale lager malts and perhaps a bit sweet, herbal and grassy hops. Taste is similar, theres some chemically notes, but nothing too offensive. Still pritty standard beer, though perhaps better than expected.

I would call it "Pale" because it has nothing common with low-calory light Euro-American beers. It is VERY soft with almost soapy but pleasant foam. You can drink it in big quantities.
