Snegurochka (150) - Tromsø, NORWAY - OCT 28, 2009
500ml bottle, shared with Stefan in Tallinn 21.oct.09. Pours a sparkling golden body, with a white fizzy head. Wet grassy aroma, with notes of grain and honey. The quite sweet, vapid flavour and thin texture makes it rather uninteresting.

Vertical Bacon Strips (1617) - Asshat, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 25, 2009
Light gold swill, almost no cap after dumping it out hard from the can. Skunky smell, grain, boring! Something...wait.. nothing good , nothing bad. Grainy taste, watery, hops, light spice standard crap. Tons of carbonation but not gassy. Dry Boring. Check mark Estonia.

Another bland pale lager. Aroma has a little skunky smell, taste is thin with yeast and some hop. Something I won’t try again.

Cirrhosis (887) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 13, 2009
Light clear gold body with a small skiff floating on top. The stink of this beer is epic!!!! Rotten malts with dark not fresh apple bordering an skunky. Sweet barn yard yuck flavor with dark heavy flavored malts that finishes ungodly sweet. Flavour seems to be getting lighter the more I drink but yet its low quality Euroness is repulsive. I hate all of these appley skunk Euro lagers they all suck but this one’s is more skunky than most. I wish eastern Europe and Latin America would stop attempting to produce beer they don’t know how!!!!!

MrRoss (646) - Delta, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 15, 2009
Bottled on Jan 18 2006. This poured a clear, light gold along with a whacking great foamy white head. The hopping was evident from the instant the cap came off. Taste, mouthfeel, and aftertaste were typical of a better-quality Euro-lagers. This was a nice beer to drink and I’d have it again.
