Huge thanks to Melissa for bringing this back from the Czech Republic. Pale yellow body with a half inch of white head. Pils malt and grain aroma. Light sweetness with a hint of bittering hops. Some bread and grain notes with mild alcohol presence. Not the greatest beer, but a cool and unique opportunity.

500ml aluminum can acquired at Tesco supermarket in Bratislava for under 1 euro and served into a kitchen glass in me friend's gaff in Bratislava. Reviewed live. Expectations are low given the ownership of this brewery. Served cold and side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
4.0% ABV confirmed.
No bubble show forms as it's poured.
HEAD: 2.5 fingers wide. Off-white colour. Okay thickness, creaminess, and consistency. Leaves light lacing. Retention is average - about 2 minutes.
BODY: Clear darkish yellow of below average vibrance. Translucent. Seems overcarbonated. Clean; no yeast particulate or hop sediment is visible. Far from unique or special looking. Could be weak and/or watery.
AROMA: Stale barley, generic pilsner malts, and possibly adjunct. Some cream, maybe? A poor aroma of average strength.
No yeast, alcohol, hop character, or off-character is detectable.
TASTE: Clean barley, generic pilsner malts, a hint of cream, and helles malts. Some light floral hop character. Painfully simple. At least it's not watery.
No yeast character, overt hop character, alcohol, or off-notes are detectable. This is difficult to like, but hard to hate.
Poor depth of flavour. Average duration and intensity of flavour.
There's just next to nothing going on here. Lacks any subtlety or intricacy whatsoever. Thankfully, there are no metallic off-notes.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, light-bodied, overcarbonated, unrefreshing, a biteen stale, and a bit hefty on the palate for the lack of flavour. Doesn't suit the style particularly well. Overall presence on the palate is poor. Not well executed.
OVERALL: As forgettable a budget lager as you'll find in Eastern Europe. Even at its reasonable price point, I wouldn't bother with it again. Not worth trying. Quite mundane. On the low side of average. It's drinkable, at least, and hides its low ABV decently. Another mediocre brew from Heineken. Damned insipid.
