Bottle. Pours orange, with a small, off-white head. Good, biscuity yeasts and banana esters. Apples, brown sugar, and some light earthy hops. Sweet and earthy, with some very light bitterness. Overall, this is a surprisingly complex and tasty pale lager.

Bottle. Pale gold color. No head to rate. Corn and straw aroma. Very thick and sweet palate with wheat, corn, and grain flavors. Not what I was expecting from Europe. This was more like a domestic.

Bottle, quick rating. Pale golden with a white head. Fruktsoda, wet cardboard, sweet maltiness, light grass. Too sweet, and not really enjoyable.

330ml bottle. Pours bright gold, malty and sweet aromas. Taste is on the sweet side, some mild bitterness. Quaffable,not disgusting, but that´s all for this one.

A little sweet, similar to a brown ale even though it’s not. Heavier on the malt. Pares well with my "Spanish" lunch.

Draught at Casa Senra, San Senastian. Clear golden - white head. Grainy. Hay. Cardboard. Zesty notes. Light hoppy. Bread. Plain.

Aroma: The smell is weak, very corn cereal, a bit sweet, raisins and strawberries- No acidity, no bitterness.
Appearance: The beer is clear pale straw colored, small bubbles, a white head that settles quickly, but leaves some lacing.
Taste: Starts sweet, once more the strawberry association, some corn flakes, anonymous fruity tones, like esters, a slight sour, lemon, and bitter soap presence.
Palate: Medium low carbonation, small bubbles, no body, a chemical soapy feeling. A somewhat dry finish.
Overall: Overall I find it hard imagining this beer to be good in any situation.
Note: Bottle 250 ml. Reviewed 2011-04-21.

Golden colour and white head. A decent lager that didn’t stick it’s head out neither in a positive or negative direction. Light sweet taste and aroma.

Bottle. Low but lasting white creamy head. Clear amber body. Sweet honey caramel aroma. A bit thin bodied and watery malt caramel flavor with little hops bitterness and a short aftertaste.

Bottle from the Good Wine shop, Kew. Pale gold, nice hoppy nose, crisp hoppy body, lightly bitter, a touch of sweet malt in the mid-body.
