Pale yellow, very pale. Decent white foam head lacing to glass. Aroma is of any other pilsener, so is taste. However this combined with the higher temperatures and a pizza made it an allright beer for that moment. (Bucharest 201208)

330 ml capped green bottle. Poured a clear golden-yellow coloured lager with a one finger white small pillowy creamy foamy head that had a good retention and tons of bubbles. Mid-sized carbonation. About no lacing. The aroma is grainy malts, pronounced grassy hops, straw. The flavour is grainy malts, corn and skunky, a touch of fruits, citrus. The mouthfeel is thin. This light bodied lager has a quite long hoppy bitter finish. Not so horrible as expected. A could-be drinkable lager.

Given to me by my Romanian neighbor. While it wasn't the greatest, I've been tryign to find one from Romania for a long time. Thanks Peter! Pours a clear golden, big white head. Instant corn and malt on the nose. Tatse is mildly bitter, some odd soft sweet finish. I can see this doing the trick after pounding some of his homemade blackberry brandy.

Pale golden colour with a white foam, with a bit of malt and a sharp bitter finish with a bit of hops light-bodied, lively carbonated. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Standard typical European lager.

52nd different country tried... and the one where Dracula's castle is built. Pours a yellow colour with a big white fluffy head that has pretty good retention and lacing. At first, had a nice fresh grain smell to it, but after breathing, the rusty hop scent appeared. A bit after that, just went to plain corn aroma. Thin mouthfeel, but not as watery as most swill. Kind of creamy and crisp. Taste of cheap malt with a little hop in the middle and a corn finish. A few big bubbles stick to the glass, while the carbonation is coming up from the bottom with tiny bubbles (quite nice to look at). Other than that, nothing to make your blood run cold.

Last can-o-sludge sampled at 09 K-W swillfest. Pale gold, smallish white cap, reduces fast but laces lightly. Aromas of boiled husk,corn and rice, dextrose sweetness. Weak mouth feel, thin and watery, dextrin sweetness, fast dry finish from the brewer’s rice. Fizzy gassy and bloating with no malt body. A poor industrial beer tarted up as a premium with the addition of hop extract.

Just another of the many Eastern European swill-churning countries that lack the necessary craft beer mentalities. You can read the newspaper through a glass of this stuff. I'd rather smell a skunk, and the taste...............don't get me started.

The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a generous white fluffy head, and excessive effervescence. The aroma was a pungent mix of grainy malt, hops, and skunk. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour is a nice balance between the hops and the malt, not as grainy as other European pilseners!

What I remember most about this beer was that it was beer. When we weren't drinking Tuborg in Romania, we were drinking Ursus - the Bear - and drinking it in vast quantities. It was about 12-cents for a half-liter - or some such ridiculously low price. It's better than the ornage Fanta that was our only alternative.

Another beer my friend brought back from his last trip to Romania. Pours a bright golden yellow with a thick head. Leaves some lacing on the glass. The aroma is nice, grassy with corn, not skunky at all (which is what I was expecting). Tastes pretty average for a pilsener. Smooth and finishes clean with no aftertaste. A nice beer.
