Not too bad for a light beer, but not much taste at all. In getting rid of the bitterness, they threw the baby out with the bathwater, wait, there was no baby in there to begin with.

Tastes like the can it comes from. Watery beer that I am not sure was better than the other option of Bud Heavy.

Not sure why I actually picked this up my last trip to the brew thru, but I did. If I have ever had this beer before, I don’t remember it...if I had I would have steered clear (but now I have 5 more in the fridge lol). The aroma is hard to explain, but let me attempt. The beer smells like skunky swamp water (used to live in Florida, if you’ve smelt a marsh...this is what it smells like, not pleasant). The taste runs right up the same alley, hardly any! I’m not trying to totally kill this beer in ratings, but its like someone mixed half the beer with water. Might be the worst light beer I’ve tried in my 32 years. Only good thing...the color of the beer looks appealing (much like a bud light or miller light). This will be my last 6 pack I’ll ever buy (ouch!).

On tap and in bottles all over Dubai. Not great beer - lacking in character, thin body. Having said that, if you’re in a mass market pub and want something you can drink 10 of, it’s better than Fosters or Carling.

Pours very pale gold with a thin head minimal lacing. Faint malt aroma. Taste is minimal. Some bitterness and grain.

Bottle. Light yellow color with minimal white head. Watery aroma with malty notes. Taste, watery, light malty, grainy hints. Very light bitterness in background. That’s all.

33cl bottle. Thin white head. Pale golden pour. Ok but not much better than an alcohol free beer. Very little taste

Bottle - Light yellow, light looking and light tasting. I used to think this beer was ok until I branched out and tried beers that were truly worthy. Now I know better.

January 27, 2012, bottle at Max Restaurant. Nice pour with big head, color seemed to be clear very very light yellow. What the heck is that in the aroma, kinda smells like rotten egg with an occasional whiff of grain, not good at all. Taste is somewhat grain and water.
