Bottle 0.5 L.
Clear yellow body with a small, frothy, white head, fully diminishing with virtually no lacing.
Faint malty anf hoppy aroma.
Flavour is mainly bitter with some light sweet malty note.
Light body with a watery texture; soft carbonation; moderate metallic feeling in the finish.

Can from the supermarket in Dubrovnik enjoyed in our stateroom.
Mostly clear deep yellow color with a bubbly white head that persists. Bready toasty maltiness with earthy spicy to counter. not bad for a tick.

I had a couple of 0.5L bottles of this beer whilst in Maribor, Slovenia for biz-net. It poured a golden clear with white fizzy head that eventually dissipated and left no lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain and yeast presence with a subtle bitter hop finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Had on tap. I can understand why lasko does so well in slovenia. Union is yet another euro pale lager that has sweet corn, some herbal tastes, tons of adjunct, and a really unfortunate urine smell on the finish. Taste is kind of skunky on the finish. Not good

I bought this one at store in Venice Italy.
500 ml green bottle with clear freshness dating.
Poured into a glass, the beer is clear gold with a fairly decent white head.
Nose of grains and green bottle sulphur.
Taste tracks the smell, grains, a bit of spicy hops and a slight skunk, not sure if it's light struck or just the flavor profile.
The mouth is medium with a touch of silk.

Svetlo... Sweet corn and DMS... Definitely seems Eastern Bloc, but not that big of a knock... Sorta what I expect with no other real flaws... Just hot and sweet even for 5%.. Doubt I will ever try this one again and I'm fine with that.
