Chernomor Gold

From a 500 ml. bottle, freshness date on the back label, sampled in a lager glass. Poured a clear orangey golden with a foamy white that slowly dissipates into a thin sudsy lacing. A faint, largely clean nose, cereal grains and sweet pale malts, a little lemony. The carbonation is active, lending towards a light-medium body, crisp, dryish and a tad watery, tastes of a watery tart, lemony citrus, cereal and thin sweet pale malts, fusel alcohol flavor towards the end, a dry, watery tart, sweet malty finish, passable drinkability. This was, for me, barely o.k., I doubt I will be buying this again, there are better cheaply priced east European pale lagers on the shelves of the stores in my area.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a transparent light orange colroed body. The aroma was malty and slightly acidic. The weird flavor was just off and contained acidic notes. A horrible one that I would not buy again.

Bottle. Poured hazy pale color with a large frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet grainy aroma. Light to medium good with a syrupy texture. Medium sweet flavor with a soft sweet short finish. Not much character.

16.9 oz bottle- An aroma of corn on a light golden body with a head that diminished quickly. A taste of wheat and corn. A light body. Not bad for a beer that traveled quite a while.

Sampled from bottle. Pours faintly cloudy yellow-gold with a thin, white head. Sour, wet-hay-like aroma is followed by a semi-sweet, sour malt flavor. Medium-light body with higher levels of carbonation. Quite an unpleasant experience. This beer taste quite old - which is a real issue when a brewer ships a pale lager 1/2 way round the world. I could imagine this being a decent lager at the source (sort of).
