Commercial Description:
To the joyful and the young at heart we recommend Union Smile – the beer with a smile. It tastes best with a slice of lemon, which with its crisp and refreshing aroma perfectly complements this beer’s flavour.

Bottle. The only survior of the six pack droped on the tile floor. Clear bottle and when the desert dust was wiped off aroma wasn’t good wet corn. Yellow body no head to speak of. Medice flavor with some wet corn mash. Harsh on the palate not very refreshing.

Clear glass bottle. Tight white head. Golden body. Unpleasant aroma. Cross between chili powder and sulphur. Pretty flat body overall. Flavor of unfermented malt. Not sure where the slice of lemon is they talk about, but then again this bottle was hanging around ledger’s for about 22 months.

Opened the twist top (so classy! seriously, it is here) and skunk filled my room. pale lager in a clear bottle .. the Balkan answer to Corona I guess. Low carbonated and watery, lives to its billing. I suppose it could be refreshing but despite the Smile I’d look elsewhere. At least it isn’t lemon-scented.

Another skunky Euro lager, very disappointing. Some pale malt hops and lemon. Watery, minimal dryness in the finish.

15-Feb-08 (330-ml bottle: Purchased 09-Feb-08 for $2.25 at Ledger’s Liquors in Berkeley, CA) Quite a nice malty nose, but also a hint of that European "skunkiness" you find in beers like Heineken. The flavor of bready and lightly toasty maltiness jumps out on the first sip, but soon after, the stale, papery finish takes hold and delivers a long, somewhat unpleasant aftertaste. A delicate hop flavor and a very slight tartness also peek out from time to time, but what stands out in the final outcome is the cardboardy aftertaste. Medium in body and softly carbonated. Golden in color, but fairly hazy for a pale-colored lager. Small, whitish head settles to a ring, leaving only spotty lacing.

Clear Bottle 330ml
Appearance: pale gold with light top. Fizzy mid crown.
Nose: Citric , raw vegetable aroma, off malts.
Flavor/Palate : medium bodied. taste a bit like many non alcoholic beers with its rawness. Finish was slightly better. Weak , sloppy plain malty lager.
