Snow-white head, a large but short-lived.
The smell sour and slightly fruity.
Poor taste, the beer is light, a little acidity, with a large dose of bitterness. Drink them very easily, is refreshing, slightly saturated, appears to be ideal for heavy meal.

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 brewery. Served cold and side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
4.2% 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 light yellow of below average vibrance. Translucent. Seems overcarbonated. Clean; no yeast particulate or hop sediment is visible. Far from unique or special looking. Kind of weak and watery looking.
AROMA: Stale barley, generic pilsner malts, and possibly corn 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. That's it. Painfully simple, with no redeeming characteristics. 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.
TEXTURE: Strangely coarse and dry on the palate, lending it a stale cardboard-y feel. 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. Poorly 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. Below average. It's drinkable, at least, and hides its low ABV decently, but you can find far better beers at this price point across the world - I have.

Courtesy to my Slovak colleague who took the burden of finding this unusual beer and taking it back to London for me. Coming in a 500ml brown, BB 28/01/2014, served chilled in a pint size pilsner glass. Notes: Pivovar Šariš seems to be now part of Pivovary Topvar, but this beer is produced and packaged at the old Šariš’ brewery site, hence the entry here instead of at Topvar’s page.
A: pours a pale golden colour, faintly translucent, coming with a thin foamy white head with good retention, on top of steady streams of lively but not OTT carbonation.
S: sweet grainy malts mainly, edged by faint aroma of Saaz, while the sweetness level is constantly high, with sugar cane-ish notes to overwhelm any other delicate elements on the nose.
T: thin bodied, the entry has at best boiled veggies, corn-ish grainy soup, etc., followed by a lightly metallic, mineral-ish and acidic touch, as well as faintly dry-ish bitterness. Finishing neutral (in terms of flavour), not particularly dry nor bitter and yet no unwanted sugary sweetness is there to linger, either.
M&O: lively on the mouthfeel without going too fizzy, thin-bodied which befits the next-to-void flavour profile only too well. This is a watery and bland beer, without anything to feature on the nose and on the palate. That the BB date being so close to when I’m having it has undoubtedly contributed to the lack of flavour, although I’d be very surprised that it’d taste much much better even if freshly served on tap…
