Bottled. A pale golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of metal and a bit of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, metal, brewing cereal, and straw, leading to a dry metallic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

50 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is cornish and grassy. Light metallic and cornish. Grassy and bitter. Cornish finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Clear golden with a white head. Malty nose. Medium body, fairly solid sweet malt base, a whiff of cardboard and a dry hoppyness. 171111

Bottle at yespr. Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Malty aroma of grain and sulphur. Malty flavour of grain and hops. Hoppy finish.

Straw colour and big billowy head. The aroma is tart, grainy. Tastes is slightly toasty with a sweetish finish. Bland overall.

clear yellow ,smooth white head. aroma is malty, macro pils, slight sweet note (not flowery) flavor is malty, caramelly, slightly sweet, corn, okay taste, but a metallic and weird flavor under the goodness.

Can. Unfortunately a bit warm. Is glassy brassy gold. At this temp esp, the phenols come out, in the form of plastic. Sweet soft oily palate. Hop pelete finish is alright. Not great but even warm is tolerable and will do in a pinch.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!). Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty pils nose. Moderate malty, bready and slight metallic with hint of cardboard near the end. Start was promissing but not for a long.

0.5l bottle at that strange store between the Sava and the railway tracks, again thanks to luttonm for pointing it out! Shared with ogivlado. Poured a small chalky white head with a dull pale golden body. Light, malty nose, ok I guess. Bitter taste, yoghurty, malty and peachy notes. Bit empty but all in all better than expected and better than higher-profile beers from that brewery. Passable.

So, i ’ve had a 0,5l bottle from Serbia as a gift. Yes, the beer is one of the cheap beers. The appearance hasn’t got any problem: clear yellow beer with a small but delicious head. This is avarage. The aroma is an other thing, because the beer hasn’nt got any perfume. Oh no: after a while the unpleasant sweet malt aroma turns up... The taste is not a complex one with sweet malt, moderated, minimal carbonation, light, very light carbonation, some metallic off-flavor. It was fermented on high temperature and it was not finished normaly...I will taste it again if i travel to Serbia. I am curious about the developing of this brewery.
