500ml can - the first new Slovakian brewery to show up around here in a very, very long time.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with a fistful of puffy, loosely foamy, and yet somewhat creamy ecru head, which leaves a few instances of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, further wet breakfast cereal, corn syrup, indistinct light stone fruit, metallic alcohol, and some very tame earthy, weedy, and dead grassy hop bitters. The taste is sweet pale and caramel malt, simple syrup, honeyed crackers, still hard to isolate fruity notes, a hovering, but not quite fully alighting booziness, and some rather understated leafy, herbal, and wet grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly stoic in its workaday frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a bit of alcohol ingress maybe not playing so nice with the other kids here. It finishes well off-dry, the honeyed malt and wowee sauce component the only lingering game in town.
Overall, this is essentially an adequately constructed European malt liquor (ok, ok, 'strong lager'), as the hops are barely there, and the 7 points of ABV are not particularly shy. However, the biggest tell is the near overbearing sweetness, which almost has me reaching for my handy-dandy tongue scraper.

A - poured into a pint glass. transparent yellow with a bit of an orange cast. foamy at first but settles to a complete lack of head; no lacing; no bubbles in the liquid, even (odd for a lager).
S - grassy hops, corn
T - crisp classic lager. not at all complex, but pleasantly strong.
M - despite the dull appearance, it does have some body and a little carbonation zing.
D - basically like a Budweiser that's crafted with a stronger & surer hand. (i.e., higher ABV and hop content)
