heavy (503), Split, Croatia Oct 1, 2008 So...what I’ve chose for rating #500 was exactly this. I was bored of good Belgian ales for round ratings, so chosen a beer which might easily become the worst European pale lager :) let’s see that 0.5 l can I found in a store in Tirane, Albania. Poured pale yellow body with medium-bigger head over it and with some particles floating inside, probably being barley husks! Damn! Some lemony hops aroma with some dust. Flavor is watery, crappy, soapy, weak, etc. Although it was pretty plain, that soapiness mixes with some slight bitterness making some unpleasant combination. Very bad indeed, I could hardly finish it! Fascinating enough for such a round rating number! Doggythedog (1020), Split, Croatia Oct 1, 2008 Can courtesy of and shared with heavy who found it in Albania (thanks!) Poured a pale golden body with some odd particle inside (what the...), medium sized thick white head. Sharp dusty nose... guess some hop is in there. Taste? Watery.... watery is an understatement. No. Saying that it being watery is an understatement is an understatement by itself. Water someone managed to taint with something. It’s not tainted all that badly though... it’s sweet, soapy (ok, that’s four of us that agree), some dust, some corn... later on a lemony acidity becomes somewhat dominant and that’s it. It’s not the foulest beer you’ll try but it’s possibly the most baffling. The particles that I really hope were proteins or something stuck on the bottom of the glass. Wow. Just wow. To top everything off, the can is an obvious Tuborg Green knockoff and it says "Pleasure is inside." Oooh yeah. Pleasure. Must be those particles. klesidra (3), , Slovenia does not count Sep 24, 2008 this beer is like peee. i don’t like it at all. it made me feel sick any time I drank it during my trip in Albania
I would like to rate it minus but there is no such rate :(
but it looked great at the bottle estpiwo (224), Estonia Jul 7, 2008 From can and plastic bottle. So bad. At first time beer was soapy and metallic - think what it is washing water from beer tanks. Second time was little bit better, but ... as (107), Novi Beograd, Serbia Mar 31, 2008 Can brought from Albania by a friend. Light yellow color, quite hazy. Mild taste, a bit hoppy, but with some strange soap, herbal and metallic aromas.All in all, bad as expected. A bit similar to the Serbian Zoffmann Svetlo.
