Pretty typical eastern european pils type beer. Grassy and corny in both smell and flavor, piss yellow beer with no mouthfeel. Not terrible but not good either, if it weren't for the crazy bottle I would probably never have tried it.

One of the coolest bottles ever - from jerrymorrison. Very pale straw yellow pour with little head and no lacing. Almost stale hops, malt and corn aroma with a bit of lemongrass. Thin. Taste is lemongrass, stale malts and cereal, peppery hops. Thanks Jerry for the cool bottle - and for getting another country marked off the list.

A very interesting bottle, looks like a large pepper shaker, kinda cool. Anyway aroma of hay, malt, and some honey, very thin fizzy head, not much lace. Pale yellow body, typical thin mouthfeel. Flavor starts with the honey and hay, dry slightly bitter finish. Overall a standard euro pale lager, but hey add another country to my list.

It pours out a slightly hazy, light golden with thin white head and quite a bit of sporadic lacing. A fragrant aroma of sweet/sour malts, hops, oranges and lemon, and light pepper. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich. Flavors of sour malts, hops, lemon/citrus, some funk, and mild spices. Cool bottle, not horrible, but not too good-tasting either.

I'd be a dirty stinkin no good nick liar if i didn't say i bought this just for the bottle.. . pours out a light gold, light airy foam, zero to low lacing .. aroma of faded hops and light hay .. . typical in the mouth of most eastern region lagers .. . still better than any american macro lager but still not that good ... edu was robbed!
