Bought this to check off another country, but it turns out I already tried Bosnia. Anyway, the beer sucked. Very grainy, lots of corn, pretty oxidized. Skunky. Drainpour.

Got this one to tick off another country from my list. It does now say Bosnia and Herzegovnia and the company is now 140 years old. Similar to Wernesgruner Pils, though lighter in body and in heavy old world malt flavor. Also has a sweet flowery finish.

From the Danforth LCBO (thanks for selling me this crap). Poured the stereotypical ex-Soviet bloc lager light gold beneath a skimpy white head. This was the best part. Aroma was faint, maybe a bit grassy at best, but this some developed into something a beer should NOT smell like, ie, cabbage. The taste was every bit as wrong, and didn't it finish shitty as well. A lousy beer, one of the worst I've had in a while.

This Bosnian lager pours a light golden colour with a foamy white head, average retention, little tiny spots of lace all over and tiny bubble carbonation. The nose is definitely like a pilsner, but it does fade away pretty fast. Smells like malt substitutes. Crisp, but watery mouthfeel. I can taste the hop in this one, so a plus for one of these millions of Euro lagers. A bitter start, but looks like corn in the finish. Strong start, week finish. Refreshing nonetheless, and nice to try a beer from this country.

Bottle 500 ml pours a pale straw lager in the glass weak head little lacing, weak effervescence. Aroma: this one has the Heiniken-Becks skunk to it..kinda like light struck pisner ..sulphurous-ripe cabbage smells with some underlying saaz. Weak mouth, soapy hopping, watery malts, with a nasty sour off taste finish..like the brewery has an infection or something...maybe just this bottle but I really don’t want to go out of my way to get a good bottle because at best it will only be marginally better. It really pisses me off the Ontario beer monopoly keeps importing these sub par commie welfare lagers! Necter eh?...then where this crap comes from they must consider the rancid scrotum butter from dead goats as nectar....just pathetic...and at $2.80 a bottle the LCBO should blush at their open greed.

Bottle: Poured deep golden color lager with a large bubbly white head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of light floral malt with no discernable hops. Taste is also dominated by light sweet malt with some very subtle hops. Quaffable and easily drinkable but in the end it is lacking character.

Saw it in the liquor store and it was screaming to be tried. So I bought it. It pours a clear yellow-gold colour, and the head is bubbly, white, and gone faster than the blink of an eye. The aroma is very non-descript. I could sense some malt, and some hops, but there was a strong skunkiness as well. The flavour was well balanced, but weak.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, and hops with some quite sweetish notes. Flavour is the same along with some papery notes. Quite thin and watery.

Yawn....
Poured out almost no head and the beer is a light gold that borders on looking like a pale lager. A hard pour with the bottom half of the bottle gave some bright white bubbly foam that died super fast. The aroma is decent - sweet, malty, dry grass - pretty much as expected. The taste is dry, grainy, background hops... really grainy, it's growing on me. Comes across a bit foamy and feels on the thick side. Nice smooth middle and a good, soft fading dryness with grains to finish you off. Tick mark for obscure beer country.

The beer pours a translucent dark gold with a thin white bubbly head, and a lot of effervescence. The aroma is grainy malt with some hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and medium carbonated with a bitterness. The flavour is primarily grainy malt with small hoppish bitterness.
