Clear 500ml glass bottle, unique pull tab cap. Best before date 27 05 08 (whoops). Piss yellow appearance, piss-foam colored head. Aroma of pale malt and herbal hop. Light bodied, sweet vegation, mild balanced bitterness. Surprizingly good for a Pale Lager.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is clear golden. Aroma and taste are malt and hops. Light bitter finish.

Bottle (Clear) Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Pale yellow colour. Light bitter flavor. Almost no aroma but at least its not bad. Short but OK finish. Watery palate. Very clear and refreshinh. Must be very nice on a hot summerday.

500 ml bottle. Rīga, Latvia. Not very beer-like drink. More like malt beverage. Extremely easy to drink, but not quite enjoyable.

rbesg08 grand tasting, bottled. quite pale, cardboard aroma, no bitterness, bland and awful

bottle. Clear golden yellow, large white head. Malty-citrusy nose. Refreshing, malty background with some lemony citrus flavours. Very slightly hoppy only. Inoffensive, slightly boring but not bad.

A lager with a decent flavor but nothing to write home about. Sort of a Russian Dos Equis, which isn’t saying much. Drinkable, nothing more.

Another yellowy green tinged beer with very little head. AROMA: grainy pale malts, lime ice poles with some bitterness to the END. Very thin little carbonation bready, corn syrup. Uninteresting plae lager.

Bottle: Poured a clear pale yellow with a froathy head. Aroma is light grass. Taste is corny and grass.

$2.29 16.9 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia. Appearance: There’s this fun, engaging pull-tab top -- I guess to deliver on the "cooler" promise. Crystal clear, yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Somewhat sweet-smelling pale malt nose with faint notes of citrus, drying hay, and, oddly enough, crushed mint leaves. Taste: Sweet light pale maltiness without being too terribly sweet. Hint of honey for a bear-shaped container. Spoonful of creamed corn. Floral hops with a light, drying bitterness. Tiniest hint of mint. Finishes dry. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Not altogether bad considering it’s one of the Euro Pale Lager horde and, amazingly, it’s free from any skunking. However, you could easily find something comparable and cheaper produced here in the US.
