Pours pale golden with a white head. Aroma is wet grain, a little grass, and bread. Flavor is sweet, fruity, caramel, and grain.

Bottle: Pours a pale gold, aroma of faint husk and grain, hay and sugar. A bit rough and has that typical sweet grainy eastern Europe lager taste. Finishes minerally.

Bottle. Clear golden pour, white head. Grain, herbal hops, slightly metallic, and some sweetness. Meh, boring, but drinkable.

Sampled on 11/26/2010. This lager pours a medium orange gold color from a 500ml bottle. Medium to small sized white foamy head. The aroma is malty, fruity, orange and sweet. A medium bodied premium lager. The malts are fruity and sweet, hints of orange and a touch of corn. The hops are herbal and slightly spicy. Decent carbonation. It’s way too sweet and there is an orange flavor that at times seems a little too artificial, but for a Eastern European Lager it’s not all that bad. Be that as it may. Overall it’s way too sweet. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Clear yellow pour. Bready, sweet, malty, a but yeasty on the nose. Flavor is a little sticky and underwhelming. A bit to sweet, a bit to bready. Odd beer, but not terrible.

The label on this guy says, "You must be sure you wanna taste it." Well, I’m not sure but I’m tasting it anyway. It seems to be a pretty standard Eastern European lager. It’s a pale orange golden color w/ a small head of fine bubbles. The nose is cereal grain and grassy hop w/ a metallic twinge in the background. Flavor is about the same only w/ a fairly strong metallic bitterness in the finish. It’s also a bit sweet and heavy feeling which doesn’t really work at all in this type of beer. It is not all bad though, the balance is decent and after a few sips some of the flavor flaws fall to the background and it becomes much more drinkable.

Pour is a bright yellow with a bready/grainy aroma. Flavor is super sweet malts and not much in the way of hops. As an average lager this is just ok and cheap enough for a rating.

Interesting for sure. Aroma is grassy and caramel. Poured a bright yellow. Flavor oddly caramel and breakfast grains. Palate light and relatively clean. Overall not great but like I said interesting.
