(Bottle 50 cl) Pale golden, small creamy head that leaves pretty laces in the glass. Some sweet malt, actually rather sweet. Dry, discreet light bitter finish. 040605

Canned (Thanks Rosenbergh!). Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is malty, salty and also rather sweet and mildly grainy. Flavour is caramel malts, some starchlike sweetness, mild sweet grains as well as some mild toffeeish notes.

Light bodied, no bitterness, sweet and very one-dimensional. A cheap industrial style lager.

Bottle. Boring lager.

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is light golden. Aroma is malt. Taste is sweet and malty.

Draught at Cafe Montmatre, in Budapest. Clear yellow - white head. White bread, egg, butter, light hay, diacetyl, cardboard.

Can. Pours a clear golden colour with a bubbly and creamy rather short lasting white head leaving a fair lacing. Aroma of bitterish hops, grains and some malt. The mouthfeel is a bit waterish. The flavour is mild with a soft pleasant bitterness, some grains and malt. A simple but not bad at all pale lager. Well lasting bitter finish.

Bottled (BB 10/2007)
Light golden yellow color, decent white head. Papery malty nose. Light sweet malty, corn-like flavor. A bit fizzy in the finish. Cheap bulk lager, but the not the worst one in Huingary!

Can. Frothy white good mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Very bready ugly aroma. Light hoppy. Flavor very close to water. Very watery palate, not a good pale lager. Soft carbonated.

Bottled, pasteurised. Pale gold, carbonated head. Thin cardboard flavour, low malt and hop impact. Rather poor throughout.
