Bottle. I don’t know how many ounces this is. Pours extremely light yellow, I don’t even know if I can call it yellow, perhaps white is a better descriptor. Certainly one of the palest colored beers I’ve ever seen. A small compact white head sits on top. Aroma is sweet and malty, slight candy as well. Somewhat beery but certainly better than typical American macros. Flavor is dry and malty with a quick finish. Not too much going on flavor-wise though this isn’t really bad. Boring but not horrible.

liked this one, pouring into a darkish gold colour with a short-lived foamy white head and very little lacing. Aroma was "hop over malt", and the taste seemed to offer even more malt. Smooth and refreshing. FYI, the back label says mine was produced in 26 October 2004, and I bought it 17 June 2005 in Toronto.

500ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours golden with a short lived head. Taste and aroma is typical eurolager. Not great.

presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 12, 2009
Found the 500ml can while picking something else up at Calgary Co-op. Gold beer. Had a big head before I turned away. Aroma is sweet, light icing sugar and grain? Sweet flavour. Slightly rough. Uneven. Sugar over vegetable.

SeanMacGC (330) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAR 22, 2009
Bottle, 500ml. Pours clear yellow, with short-living bubbly head. Hoppy aroma, with some citrus on the palate. Quite highly carbonated. Run of the mill.

Cybercat (1734) - Georgia, USA - FEB 19, 2009
Pours a typical clear straw-yellow, like a million other lagers. Aroma is typically lagerish, crisp and malty, but gets a half point for being fairly strong and not water. Flavor is a little better than most lagers I have tried - it is malty and has just a teensy hint of fruit and a trace of hops. Texture is smooth and fizzy, not at all watery. I am no fan of lagers, but this is better than most.
