  • Armenia

    Armenia

    Date Consumed: 12th May 2012
    Beer: Kilikia Jubilee
    Brewed: Yerevan Brewery, Yerevan, Armenia
    Size: 500mL
    Alcohol Content: 5.1%
    Sourced: Yerevan, Armenia (thanks to Arkady Gundroff!)
    World Beer Rating: 6/10

    Notes: Light bodied, well carbonated. Extremely metallic flavour, very like Obolon Lager from the Ukraine. Slight corn flavour. Not bad at all, I reckon this would be much better on tap instead of a bottle.
