UPDATED: FEB 10, 2009 Canned. Pale golden, average sized head. Bready aroma. Sweetish with dense rounded mouthfeel. Fairly light bodied. Low on hops, but without off flavours. No bitterness.

Can thanks to rayg1. Pours a deep golden with a decent white head. The aroma was mostly corn and malty. The taste was pretty light; some smooth malt and a decent full body. Not bad. The can was kinda cool too; it had a sort of mylar plastic on the outside.

Pours a dark golden color with a small white head. Aroma is actually not too bad for a pale lager. Sort of sweet but light, just like hay. Taste is very smooth and not offensive at all, light wheat and cereals come out and dissapear with a light bittering. The very low hop profile makes this a very mild brew and one that could easily be sesionable. One thing that did strike me about this one is it had a fuller body and thicker mouthfeel than I was expecting before I took a sip, a decent surprise and one that I will add a few points for.
