2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
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.
