Nekronos (2627) - Xalapa, MEXICO - FEB 3, 2012
Nice, regular lager, different taste than the rest of the baltics but similar to Lapin. easy to drink and enjoy with friends.

reebtogi (1551) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 1, 2012
330ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a 2 finger white head that settles quite quickly leaving only a few specks of lace. Aroma is mild cereal grains and hops. Taste is light malty sweet with a neutral hop bitterness. Adequately carbonated and light to medium body. Just another average lager style brew.

Aubrey (3125) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - JAN 3, 2012
Pale golden with a slight haze; thinnish, quickly fading head. Has a bit of body up front, but becomes watery in the finish. Malt flavors are on the sweet side, with notes of honey and sweet corn. Hops are mild, herbal and earthy, with only a mild bitterness level. That bitterness lingers well into the aftertaste, though. Not necessarily what I’d call undrinkable, but I wouldn’t want to drink it again.

Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - DEC 14, 2011
Originally rated November 2005. This Estonian lager pours a rich yellow colour with a decent white head. Retention and lacing is lacking. Carbonation is pretty active, slow and medium sized bubbles. The nose is sweet with grain malt, but the taste is not that close (or bad for some). Bitterness, light touch of a pils, is found throughout with some corn (or grain) slowly showing in the aftertaste. Production date on back of label is written: 040805 1023253 011. Not a bad lager, well balanced between a pilsner and a pale lager.

Kita (65) - Koper, SLOVENIA - DEC 6, 2011
Canned, 0.5l. Pours pale yellow colour with medium sized frothy white head and lively carbonation. Malty aroma of fresh bread with notes of grassy hops and some citruses, too. Fresh crispy start, some metallic mouthfeel present, while finish is dry and gentle hoppy. Light to medium bodied with thin texture and fizzy carbonation in palate. Ordinary lager for mass consumption.

mzaar (345) - Varberg, SWEDEN - DEC 5, 2011
Ännu en lager i mängden, svår att urskilja från många andra. Gyllengul, stort vitt skum, doftar gräs och smakar tunt, med viss sötma.
