UPDATED: AUG 8, 2005 (Bottle 30 cl) Dutch version by Heineken. Surprisingly fully golden with a delicious, creamy head. Very carbonated. Decent, full body with a good, hoppy finish. Good, solid quality lager without much personality. 121003

(Bottle 50 cl) Greek version. Pilsener golden with a fairly decent head. Malty sweetness balanced by a touch of hops and a lot of carbonation. Decent quencher guaranteed not to offend anyone. 5/3/5/2/10=2.4 050999

30 cL bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow with a slowly collapsing white head. Light cornish and caramel malty aroma. Light watery and somewhat cornish with a light caramel note. Thin bodied and light in flavours. Vague bitterness into the finish.

[Bottled] Golden colour, very brief head. Too sweet with very low hop rate and indsutrial mellow malt character. Though void of vegetable flavour this is not a beer to enjoy.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, small white bubbly head. Aroma of malts and lemon. Flavour is malty and hoppy, with some fruitish hints. One of the cleanest pale lagers at our "Swillfest" with Tbone_ .)

Bottle at Folets Park, Malmö. Clear yellow coloured with a medium sized white head. Sweet aroma of malts, hay and hops. Sweet flavour of malts, caramel hops and hay. Dry hoppy finish.

Bottle, 5%. Grainy aroma, not sour, though. Clear golden colour, OK white head. The flavour actually has a little aroma hops and malt. Medium bitterness, slightly rubbery.

Blond color. Some light malt aroma and malt flavor; quite round in the front, dryer at the end.

Had this is Greece...what else am I supposed to drink around here? Yellowy colour is pretty unappetizing. Smells mostly grainy. Tastes grainy, with plastics and paint. No bitterness. Thick, gluey texture. What else am I supposed to drink around here? Anything.
