Poured from 500mL can into a tall kitchen glass. Best by 3/25/23.
Appearance: light golden hue with a clear body and a moderate effervescence. Head is a thick finger of pillowy white foam that dissipates relatively quickly.
Smell: lightly malty with a bit of that adjunct-y aroma that reads as plastic-y to me.
Taste: again, there's a light malt here, but with the adjunct character it's not very inspiring. There's a little bit of hop bitterness here, though, which is good.
Mouthfeel: light body with a big carbonation. Surprisingly creamy considering its thin-ness.
Overall: a pretty meh macro lager. Not the worst thing out there, certainly, but not the best.

I'm going with Monkist on this. (5 years separate his and ST's 2012 review)
Clearly, someone is messing with the recipe if this ever had a reputation

Very interesting to see how people rate this beer as "okay." It might be a shame that I diss this beer as I am Hungarian but nevertheless this one is not a beer that I would call okay.
I remember the times when back in the 80's-90's - and must admit, even after the turn of the century - this was a staple beer in Hungary along with Borsodi and Soproni, with this being the one that you only drank when you had not enough money for buying a "decent" beer but you wanted to get drunk all the same.
What I disliked about it so much was that weak and tasteless, cheap lager feeling with sharp over-carbonation that felt somehow stale, as if the CO2 pumped into it has been made of rotten eggs or dust. Or both.
Okay? It is below average. Maybe I'm wrong but if I have a choice, I'd rather not drink anything than drinking this one. At the same time, it is not the worst beer in the world though. Does this mean "okay?"

Okay not 1000 but about 20 years later I had this beer again. They have definitely upped their game, for sure. The beer tastes like a lager or a helles now, which is amazing. The feel/aftertaste is still a bit thin and bitter but it is lightyears away from the inferior beer this used to be in the past! Was glad to try it again!

yup, another half liter can of cheap euro brew. only a few days left of drinking these, so lets hang in there! this one smells pretty decent actually, with some pink grapefruit notes in there amongst the watery malt. taste is generic and dull, some faint hops detectable though, which is more than i can say for many of its peers. still, metallic and thin. not nice. feel is decent, bright carbonation and a medium body, smooth to drink, down easy. overall its just anther euro beer, as i am afraid everything in the fridge is tonight...

One more beer that you want to try,and do not want to drink never again.
Little darker color,small foam and low carbonation.
Smell is very weak,nothing special.
It tastes on hops,citrus,grain aroma.
It goes easily then expected,but nothing to special.
