500ml bottle. Pale colour. Skunk free smell. Light, clean taste. Overall, a solid lager.

Clear gold with a white head. Aroma corn and alcohol(?). Taste is quite sweet corny malts with alcohol and light hops. I dunno why I am tasting so much alcohol in a 5.2% beer, but it drops the rating.

obguthr (2385) - Poquoson, Virginia, USA - JUN 12, 2011
Hay and corn husk aroma. Clear yellow, thick fizzy white head. Malt, corn, cane sugar flavor, slightly sweet initially. Finishes with honey and a hint of vanilla. This beer has some likable characteristics despite the fact that it is a mere pale lager.

Off-putting aroma (and unusually warm clear golden appearance) balanced with exceptionally clean, light pale lager taste...no skunking or notable ’off’ notes, as other reviewers have pointed out, this is surprising for the region (and considering how long it took this beer to get to my taste buds)

Bouteille 500 ml. 5,2%. Couleur jaune or claire, mousse blanche. Arôme de céréale et malt. Goût de malt et un peu de houblon. Finale avec une légère amertume.

Fruity, floral and malty. Grassy hops. I was rather surprised by this. Looked rather thick when I poured it into my pint.

My first beer from aldaris. Looks like yer standard pale lager in a mug. No visible C02 while it sits there. Cleaner metallic sterile aroma. No skunk. Good CO2 sizzle on the tongue. Taste is mild, laid back and quite refreshing, better than expected for a baltic. Easy going pleasant beer drinken experience. Even some citrus in the background. Fine finish.

I drank this from the bottle into my Rochefort glass...The beer pours a light honey gold with lots of carbonation, albeit pretty light taht falls quickly, decent lacing....The aroma is medium gives off honey, lots of yeast a little hop/skunk finish but very light...After tasting this I am super surprised by the rating, no way this is a C beer. The tasate is light but its tasty, light hops, yeasty, a very crisp drinker. This is what a light beer should be, tasty, easy to drink and lacking skunk. Great effor there.
