330 ml can, as Anker Bir Pilsener ("Limited Edition" concerning the brewery’s 75th anniversary - I suppose the "limited edition" only affects the design of the can, not the beer inside.) A gift from my Indonesian-born sister-in-law. ABV is 4.9%. Very pale and crystal clear yellow colour, big head. Sweetish and slightly sickly "industrial" aroma, notes of grass and maize. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is bland with some sweetness and minimal bitterness, utterly boring.

For some reason I thought this would taste like Anchor, but it doesn’t. It doesn’t much taste like anything really. Clear in colour taste and aroma. Inoffensive.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden with a small white head. Almost no aroma at all, some grain maybe. Not much flavor either, somehow refreshing neutral grainy with high carbonation, hint of malt and light fruity. Thin body, no aftertaste. Nothing really wrong with the exception of not tasting much at all.

Courtesy Sdr. Borup. Yellow and clear. White head, fully diminishing. Aroma of old cloth, unpleasent. Sweet flavor, almost no bitterness. Creamy texture, thin.

Can. Courtesy Sdr. Borup. Frothy white good mostly ndeminishing head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy ok aroma. Light bitter not good flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate.

Canned @ UDRM. The aroma has fresh manure and some sour hints. There is not much colour and the head is white. It tastes watery and grainy. Bleh.

Canned @ Dutch "the Good, the Bad & the Ugly" tasting. Clear yellow color, short head. Bit grassy aroma. Ah well, what do you expect from Indonesian stuff. When it’s 40 degrees Celsius, and this stuff is cold, then it’s probably one of the best things you can have.

Unofficial Dutch RB Meeting. Golden colored brew. Very thin flavor, grainy, watery, yuk.

Can @ meeting. Aroma is hay and cardboard. Flavour is swampy malt, with a very watery palate.

Can@UDRBM. Light floral and light malty aroma. Refreshing, malty, light bitter.
