2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 jeffc666 (1983) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - MAY 25, 2004
Ok this one set me back $0.99 USD for a 22oz bottle so my expectations are very low. Clear golden with a frothy dense white head. The aroma is light grass and a bit of skunk. The flavor is quite sweet, much more so than I expected. Definitely better than the run-of-the-mill macro lager, but not much better.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 GG (1980) - NorCal, California, USA - MAY 22, 2006
Well, nothing horrible here and nothing fantastic either. This beer really can swing either way depending on how it was stored. Luckily, I seemed to have gotten a decent bottle because it was quite enjoyable and quite drinkable. I think it’s on the same page as a Tuborg (not quite as tasty) and much better the Heineken, Grolsch, Oranjeboom or other lagers from that region. Aroma was a bit malty with lots of rice coming thru. Appearance was a clear golden with a nice white head. Mouthfeel was a little harsh with average amounts of carbonation and a bit on the thin side. Flavor was grassy, malty, a bit sweet, quite crisp and quite refreshing! If I was throwing a party and wanted to maximize my dollar/beer/quality ratio then this really would do nicely!

Sparkling gold liquid topped by a fizzy and active white head. Some lace. Good pilsner hop aroma with mild bread, but followed by some skunk. Crisp and hoppy, with mild malt sweetness following. Just seems to ba lacking a little bit. Overall a decent average drinker. Can 500ml- LCBO purchase.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2008 I’ve drunk the beer called Tesco Premium Lager, 440 ml can . I might be drink an other version, Euroshopper Bier - premium lager, 5% .So i don’t know...Pale golden color, nice white head. Aroma of malt and maize. The flavour is sweet malt with a minimal hop and yeast taste, moderated carbonation. Good for that price...
