(Can 50 cl) Pretty pilsener-golden colour and a nice and quite stable head. Actually rather tasty with a good balance between malts and hops. But naturally for such a light beer it lacks a lot in body. 270804

Canned. What a find in my local grocery store. Such creativity. Produce a beer in one country, ship it to the next, and add enough water to dilute it to the upper limit for alcohol sold in ordinary stores (yes, our bureaucracy sucks!) Anyway, the beer pours golden and the head is gone way before the compost heap aroma hits you. It is sweet, watery unclean and very grainy. I believe Sinebrychoff forgot to add the hops before they shipped it.

Canned. Golden colour, big bubbly head which disappears quickly. Bitter malty and hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavour with hints of sweet malt.

Golden coloured. Very weak aroma and flavour . Sweet and thin. Light bodied. Very boring.

Burned rubber aroma. Pale no bubbles. Cardboard taste. Lightbodied. Not good - to the fishies with it!

(50 cl can) Clear brown to copper color, white dissapearing head. Acidic malty scent. Sweet malty taste with a metallic and buttery aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel. Rather low bitterness. Also corn aftertaste.

This one really sucks. I got suspicious when I saw the pale golden color, and the head disappearing in a few seconds. But it was even worse. Aroma was exactly like when you have to take the garbage out the morning after having shrimps. And there was no flavor at all. Just water, very thin. How could they possibly make a beer from water only smell this bad?

No even the can looks interesting... So this IML(International Meaningless Lager) was found among the other meaningless ones in the local store. Well meaningless it became just after I had it, now it's already rated, ey! It is golden in color(nowhere else) and has a, before it vanishes(rather soon), fine white head. The aroma is really sweet but turns into a sour hopeless situation as it runs down the throat. Aftertaste is somewhat sweet, but the palate-feel isn't!
