AH.. nothing much to say here. All what I expected it to be. Picked it up at this interesting food market and I had never seen it before. Thought I never tried an Armenian brew but I was wrong. Everything you picture a SL to be and less. The booziness was present. Sweet malts were there. Shit just went straight to the nose.

Pretty typical pale yellow pils type beer but the higher abv gives it a bigger body so it's more enjoyable to drink than say a stella or the like. Still not good, too grassy and corny. Very dry finish so all things considered you could have worse piss yellow beer.

It pours a dark golden with a film of white head and some lacing. An aroma of funk and corn malts, citrus, and some bitterness. The mouthfeel is smooth and and slightly rich. Flavors of corn malts, light hops, citrus, bitterness, and light spices. Cheap, but okay ...

Deep yellow body, not much carbonation, thin fizzy head left soapy lace. Aroma of sweet/ skunky malt, flavor is the same as the aroma, not too much going on here at all. Check Armenia off the country check list.

Sampled on 1/1/2009. This European Strong Lager pours a medium orange gold color from a 500ml green bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is cereal, grain, corn, touch of malt and chemical with the residual skunk. A medium bodied Euro Strong Lager. The malts are cereal and grainy, with tons of adjuncts. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. ACK!! This beer is a sweet mess of malts, adjuncts, chemicals and green bottle skunk, finished with a touch of hops. As bad as this beer is, and at this point it is pretty much non-drinkable, I have had worse. Nice carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of cardboard and dead dog. Drain pour!

This review really could have only one of two ways, in my thinking...

A) "Cool...! Who would have thought that a country like Aremenia could produce such a world-class lager!"

or...
B) "Well, this may come from an exotic country like Armenia -- but swill-ish beer is still swill-ish beer"

Taking a look at the marks, you can probably guess which option I chose, eh...?

Pours decent enough, but even with the rotten grass-like aroma, astrigent mouthfeel, and unappealing flavor and finish, this isn't the worst beer I've had. But definately the worst -- and the first, and probably the last -- beer I've had from Armenia. Avoid this green bottled beast.
