Bottle. Pours clear golden with a small, creamy white head. Aroma has corn, brewing cereal. Medium carbonation, okay creamy and light dry mouthfeel. Flavour has sweet malts, light corn, sugary, softly citric with mild bitterness.

Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell during Paul’s Birthday Celebration - London. Thanks to the Nellerizer for bringing this back from her travels in Romania. Pours clear, yellow-gold, effervescent, with a light, white cream head. Light biscuity pale malt nose, straw. Light sweet flavor with dry dough, straw bitterness, fain paper, biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean finish, some dry and biscuity pale malts, cereal, light hay bitterness, dough. Excellent pale lager.

Head: white, medium, frothy, avg. retention. Colour: yellow-golden, clear. Aroma: a bit of grassy hops, malt, some light sourness. Taste: malt sweetness, balanced by light hop bitterness, some faint sourness here too. Some faint anason notes can be found. No off-flavours.

Can or bottle at Phoenix Restaurant, Vaslui, Romania, March 2013. Pours clear, golden with white head. Smelled malt and corn but can’t be sure about it - the place reeked of cigarette smoke. Tastes bitter, corny and stingy. Light body, soft fizz and short finish.

Pale amber pour from the bottle. Negligible head that is gone within a minute. Skunky aroma, like a cheap knockoff of standard American lawnmower beer. Tastes like fermented corn and hay. I feel rather like a cow at the moment. I won’t be finishing this beer. Blech. Medium-bodied, which is surprising for such a sour skunk beer. Not for me. I might take one on a hot day after hard work in the sun, but only if there was nothing better. It is better than Budweiser, Miller, Coors, or any other mass-produced American piss.

Great easy drinkable beer. Best variant is the draft variant. You can find it in almost all the bars and pubs in the western part of Romania.

Pours a see through gold. I like the big white head that leave some lacing. The aroma is faint at best. The taste is clean and crisp - surprisingly not terrible but a pretty boring beer. I could drink this if the options were extremely limited.

This beer is golden with nearly no head, and the aroma is skunky and yeasty. The taste is quite sour, slightly sweet, and slightly salty, and the palate combines light body, thin and slick texture, average carbonation, and an abrupt finish.

Ljus gyllene i färgen, vitte skum. Doftar unket våt hund sur malt, söt malt. Smakar lite unket sött, gräs, vått hö. Uselt.
