Die Optik zeigt sich hell und strahlend Goldgelb mit einer glänzenden Trübung. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone wandelt sich rasch in eine grobporige und flaumige Konsistenz mit einer ganz guten Haltbarkeit. Der Duft wirkt leicht süßlich-fruchtig malzig mit einer passenden grasigen bis zart kräuterartigen Hopfennote. Der Antrunk wirkt frisch mit leicht fruchtigen Noten, einer subtilen Säure und leicht grasiger Herbe. Am Gaumen nimmt man sowohl leichte Malznoten, als auch eine präsente Herbe wahr, welche aber von der Aromatik her ziemlich undefinierbar und unterdurchschnittlich gut wirkt. So zeigt sich ein sehr einfaches Profil, welches ein unterdurchschnittliches Mundgefühl erzeugt. Der Süffigkeit ist das selbstverständlich auch nicht unbedingt dienlich. Im rasch abfallenden Nachtrunk wirkt kurz eine leicht hefige Note nach und eine leichte Säure scheint sich aufzulösen. Etwas später vernimmt man ein leicht trockenes Gefühl im Mund.
Mein Fazit: Leider ein unterdurchschnittliches und sehr sehr einfaches Bier.
Copenhagen 26/11 2022. 50 cl can from Irma, Smedetoften, Kbh.NV. Simple can with the name of brewery and beer vertically in red and a golden stripe going from the top to the bottom of the can.
Pours clear yellow with a bubbly, mid-sized white head. Settles as flimsy, meagre remnants of foam unable of covering much of anything.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, malty odor mingling with a bit of detergents and sour grains. Sweet pale malts, bread, ripe pear, glue and grains.
Light carbonation. Thin, oily, soft, almost flat texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish. Lingers for a bit. Finish is watery.
Run of the mill, generic, sloppy and too sweet Pale Lager.
50 cl can @ home. Pours clear golden with a tiny white head. Aroma and flavour are malt, grains, and straw - with a slightly bitter finish.
Can @ Home. Appearance: pours clear yellow with ok soapy white head and lacing. Aroma/taste: barley, bread, light grass and corn notes. Palette: light malty aroma, average carbonation, light medium body, light to medium sweetness, somewhat balanced by a light bitterness, short duration, light sweet finish and a watery texture. Overall: pretty standard
Taste and aroma of malt, hops and yeast. A little bitter.

50 cl can picked up at a Kvickly supermarket as part of a Ukraine Support Sales. Clear golden colour with a thin white head. Fruity aroma with grains, grasses and fruits. A hoppy touch. Taste is light bitter. Medium body. Drying fruity finish. Clearly industrial but with a slightly more edge. Extra credits in support for Ukraine 🇺🇦
I have bought this can at Amstein, St-Légier. Opening this can yesterday, relax, at home after a trip from Zürich. A time to drink this beverage with a gold and clear body, average carbonation, white foam. Nothing special with this beer, an ordinary, premium lager, industrial, a bit heavy and unbalanced, metalice side, grainy, bready, extract of hop, not exciting but if it is fresh and cold, why not.
0,5l can from Prisma Lippulaiva. Clear light golden beer with medium white head. Aroma has malts and grain. Flavor too. Clean malts, no cardboard but some metallic twist. Decent brew, Slava Ukraini.
Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Light to medium sweet, notes of doughy biscuits, a little hay, bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sweet finish, subtle bitter hay and grain husk, more pale biscuits. Not bad at all.
Bottle at home. Pours clear and sparkling gold with a medium, frothy white head, medium retention. Moderate skunky aroma, medium-light grainy and husky malt, corn notes, light hop bitterness, and a dry finish. Medium-light body and moderate carbonation.
0,5l can from S-Market Rantakylä, shared @ Tahvonsaari. Pours pale golden with a medium head. Aroma is clean malts. Flavor is clean malts with some hops. A bit metallic maybe, but pretty decent. Slava Ukraini.
0.5 l can from K-Citymarket Ojamo, Lohja. Golden, clear, nice head. Quite refreshing and better than expected. Not a great lager but does its job.
How: can from pint. Quite cold. BB: 21/06/23
Head: two fingers, white.
Colour: golden.
Aroma: grains, herbal,& floral hops.
Taste: thin to medium body, above average carbonation, grains, herbal bitterness. More on bitter side.
Medium long aftertaste like initial taste.
Refreshing.
Decent, just like any other well made cheap pale lager.
Can bought at K-Supermarket Hämeenkatu, Tampere. Golden with a white head. Light with corn and notes of paper. Almost no bitterness. Slava Ukraini!
500ml can from KCM Tammisto.
Poured clear and golden in color, low carbonation.
Pretty standard pale lager/bulk.
Sweetish malty, some stale notes. Easy.
Basic premium beer. Crisp and light. Bulky malt base jacked up with rice. Nothing fancy, but a solid refresher.
0,5l can from a local K-Market. Pours clear golden with a white head. Malt, some carboad, hint of hops. Mostly just bitter. Ok.
A golden beer, a head is medium and white. Aroma has maltyness and some grass. Taste has maltyness and sweetness, no bitterness. Medium bodied. So simple, but pure.
500 ml Bottle from Shoprite in Osu, Accra. Drunk at home in VA. Pour into frozen mug. Golden tan with decent head that does not last. Pretty generic aroma and taste. Some mild malt and mild bitterness. A little more bready biscuit notes than the typical macro larger or pils you normally get in Ghana.
As it warms up some more floral notes come through. My wife thinks it smells like jasmine.
Decent for what it is. Good to add another country tick and support Ukrainian products!
500ml bottle from HoTM. It pours clear pale yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is grainy, nutty, cereal, some corn bread, rivita, light cardboard and a touch of caramel. The taste is crisp, fairly dry, subdued sweetness, soft bready malt, quite grainy, grassy, floral, some lemon curd and custard creams with a dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. This actually tastes relatively fresh tbh, it's actually a bit better than expected. A pretty run of the mill Euro-lager.
Bottle at Lithuanian Hall. Tastes like dough, grass, corn, and pale malts. Light body and low carbonation. Smells like pale malts, dough, and corn.
Klare goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Getreidiger, relativ ausdrucksloser Geruch. Geschmacklich vordergründig getreidig mit manchmal unpassender leicht hopfiger Bitterkeit. Mittlere Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.
0.33 can from small shop in Chernobyl average taste beer is not that bad gold colour with weaker foun
Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano indizi di orzo e di metallo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza trasparente. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è delicato. Sul palato si riportano caratteristiche di miele, cereali, riso ed erbaceo.
Russian warship, go fuck yourself!
clear darker golden colour, large, dense slightly ecru-ish white head, which is disappearing quite quickly; aroma of hay, grass, intensive metallic and wet cardboard notes; taste is dominated by metallic and herbal bitterness and some bready notes; not really good but at least drinkable
This is a backlog rating from 2007 from a bottle shared by Tmoney99, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are light Noble hops, hay, skunk, pale lagery junk, no reason to have this again.
Bottle from BevMo. Aroma is massive cereal grain. Moderate corn background. Clear light gold with white head that fades to a small cover. Flavor is very grainy. Thin mouthfeel. Harsh grains in the back.
