I tried this beer on June 29, 2009 after purchasing fropm one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent pale gold colour with a foamy, bubbly white head, and a ton of effervescent. The aroma was grassy malt, some off aromas, and hops. The mouthfeel was highly carbonated and light-bodied. The flavour was grainy malt with a bitter finish, and some peppery notes.

From a can. At first the taste did not appeal to me but after a couple of seconds I started to like it. The only thing that I didn’t like was the colour which was too light.

Light hazy amber / orange in colour, so-so off-white cap (could be creamier), some spotty lacing. The aroma is soft all around but still thick. Lots of sweet malts - more than I expected. Some pine, the usual candy citrus (softer than the norm). I think I Need another one for review as I cannot nail the aroma down well enough. The hops (leafy, hot, pine, spicy, some grapefruit) are not super overpowering but are still very harsh (I like!!!). Bready malts. A decent blend of flavours but seems muted somehow. Full bodied, smooth all the way through, some mild alcohol bite, fading piney bitter finish.

Bottle. [thank you Skortila/caesar]
Pours clear golden with a medium, fizzy, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is grainy sweet, some lemony notes and green apples. Medium carbonation, rather thin and watery. Still, it maintains a fair dryness. Flavour, though, is mostly non-existent. Sweet and malty with a slight underlying grassy hops base. Still, it’s better than it’s 2.19 suggests.

Bottle. Malt aroma with a fruity note. Golden yellow colour with white head. Slightly sweet malt and fruit flavour with a nice hops aftertaste.

Can, thick creamy head that sticks to the sidesof the glass, clear yellow colour, just a bit pale, light malty aroma with a touch of herbs, and a sense of whipped cream, strong bitterness but with an alcoholic edge ruining the mouthfeel just a bit, long and extremely pleasant sour appley aftertaste. Not a bad macro lager, but still only a macro lager.

This was another beer tasted in Aruba while on a trip. We stayed in Oranjestad the capital. The beahes were beatutiful and the snorkeling on a barge super. Their beers were refreshing in the 90 degree climate.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is bitter and majorly skunky. Flavor is sweet and malty with some hay and incredibly bitter hops at the start. Finishes sweet and relatively smooth. Just hard to get past the skunky smell.
