Overall this beer is similar to any corn beer yet it doesn’t have the offensive carbonation other have. Not a bad price, I found this for $2.29 for a .5L. Very drinkable.

A nice refreshing lighter pale lager. On track with American beers but better. Grain with just a hint of malt.

Pours a golden shower color, with a huge white head. Has hints of corn and other grains. Finishes clean. Thanks Dragonstout.

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. Golden beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is yeasty and mildly dry, and the flavour is yeasty and mildly malty with a gentle bitter finish. Overall a fairly standard yeasty lager.

Bottle at RBESG08 ...Pale orange ... Light grassy ... light fruity ... very non descript.

cereal, golden, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, light body, thin feel, average carbonation, astringent, wheat, dough A vvery average beer, but a light drinker, and definitely enjoyable year-round.

Bottle at RBESG08 Granbt Tasting. Alround rating: Pale brewing cereal, grassy hops, inofensive an fairly drinkable if very boring.

$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.

Bottled. Sweetish citric aroma and palate. Refreshing and drinkable but lacking in complexity.
