2.5 cheers .

3.0 330ml bottle at a Balkan restaurant in London. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is grain, grass, bread. Taste is light sweet, grain, malt, a touch metallic. Light bitter finish. It will do for a country tick (which has taken seven years to find).

2.7 Old Untappd Checkin, February 19, 2019. Brown glass bottle. Indistinctive aroma. Light malt flavor, smooth yet slightly bitter finish.

2.8 Piwo wypite podczas wyprawy Macedonia -Albania, plus przejazd przez Serbię i Węgry 2021.

2.1 Bottle, 500 ml. Clear golden, short lasting white head. Malty, sweet, bit corny, tad bitterish finish. Light bodied. Better than expected.

2.9 Pours clear golden with a medium sized head. Aroma of malts and butter. Taste of malts, butter, grass. Light carbonation. Lasting bitter aftertaste.

2.9 0.5l bottle. Clear golden color with unexpectedly nice looking white head. Aroma of corn, grain, malt and bread. Taste is bitter and sweet. Best out of all ex-yu main lagers.

3.0 Weekendopener met voor zover ik weet m’n eerste biertje uit Noord Macedonië. Gewoon degelijke pils. Proost!

1.2 Rating copied from Untappd. Bought from Russische Winkel online. Enjoyed with Thomaz on 6 may 2020

2.0 0,33 litre Bottle, shared with Bergstaden. Golden with white head. Malts, hops, sweetness, grain.

2.8 0,5L Solidan lager... slatkasta aroma kukuruza, zlatna boja, dobra, trajnija pjena... Okus pitak, srednje gorak, dosta dobar općenito...

3.3 33cl fles. Helder goudgeel kleur, fijne romige witte schuimkraag. De geur is mout en gras. Smaak is zoet, mout, gras en hooi. Licht body en veel koolzuur.

2.3 Bottle at Banjaluka, Warsaw. Aroma: Honey-ish malts, hay, herbs, acetone, bit of DMS-ish aromas. Appearance: Clear golden, ok head. Taste: Quite sweet with a surprisingly high bitterness - it's lingering and grassy. Palate: Semi-dry finish, medium carbonation, low body.

3.2 Poured from brown pint bottle into willybecher glass a clear golden colour with sudsy white foam and lace. Grassy, grainy, slight malt sweetness, with a hint of pepper noble hop bitterness to balance. Fairly bland, typical Eurolager, but not as terrible as some. Light body, moderate carbonation, mild aftertaste.

1.8 Bottle shared at a tasting at troubles'. Thanks yo_c! Clear golden. Aroma of metal and cabbage, metallic and bitter taste. Light body, metallic finish.

2.9 A wet hay aroma, pours a clear gold color with a thin white head. Taste is quite grassy, with a lighter body and a slightly sweet grain finish.

2.4 North Macedonia's 'national' pale lager (covering no less than 64% of the local market), in existence for generations now and since 1998 property of Heineken. From a can, unambiguously mentioning "11% extract", but also that the beer contains "unmalted cereals" (I guess corn?). Irregularly but tightly lacing, snow white, medium thick head gradually thinning and dissolving in the middle but well-retaining around the edge, pale golden blonde robe with a warmer 'old gold' ringe and small but lively visible bubbles. Aroma of soggy white bread and even industrial bread dough, corn water, melting margarine, rubber, minerals (sparkling water - quite outspoken), hint of flour, 'can' iron when warming up, faint touch of wet grass. Neutral onset as expected, 'clear' and minerally, with a sweetish, slick, rounded graininess, a bit corn-like as expected but nevertheless remaining relatively clean; unexpectedly, something else happens in the finish, namely a very mild, but unmistakable and even faintly lingering hop bitter touch, grassy and floral, clearly a bit more 'developed' than is averagely the case in the industrial pale lager standard. Have an extra point for that - this 'pils' doesn't try to hide how industrial it is, and on top of that boasts more hops in its tail than is the case even in Heineken's namesake pale lager itself, adding a clear and refreshing 'minerality' to the whole. The sweetish corn slickness and the eventually strong iron smell bothered me, but the minerally and hoppy qualities are a plus for me so taking all aspects under consideration, this is far from the worst industrial pale lager I had so far, I would possibly even prefer this over Belgium's own Jupiler if given no other but these two options...

2.7 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

2.6 Beer with yellow color, clear aspect, soft bitterness, some foam on top, soft carbonized, (drunk a 50cl tap beer with PG at "Pčella", Skopje, MK #928)(#3 MK).

3.0 Złociste, piana może być. Aromat i smak słodowy, lekko słodki, a zarazem świeży, orzeźwiający.

2.6 Das Skopsko (oder auf kyrillisch: СКОПСКО) ist das Standard-Bier der makedonischen Bevölkerung und sicher eines der besten Biere in dieser Gegend. Interessant finde ich, dass auf der einen Seite der Dose eine kyrillische und auf der anderen eine lateinische Beschreibung mit Logo zu finden ist. Dies lässt auf den Wunsch dieser mittleren Brauerei schließen es exportieren zu wollen. Geschmacklich würde ich es als leichtes Märzen beschreiben. Es lässt sich gut trinken und hat einen leicht herben Abgang. Erhältlich ist es von der 0,33-Dose bis zum "praktischen Familienkanister" mit 5l Fassungsvermögen. Sollte man in Mazedonien sich ein Bier gönnen wollen (allein schon um die dortige Wirtschaft zu stärken und die CO2-Bilanz niedrig zu halten), so kann man gerne zu diesem Bier greifen, einen Import halte ich aber für übertrieben.
