12oz bottle. Clear, pale yellow with medium-sized, white head. The aroma is light with some floral hop notes and some graininess with a touch of corn (DMS?). The flavor is lightly grainy and lightly sweet with a subtle bready character and some noble hop flavors. The finish is balanced with some muted bitterness and is dry and crisp. The mouthfeel is well-carbonated but not spritzy, and the body is light to medium in fullness. Overall, a lightly-flavored, pale, Eurpoean lager - like countless others...

Mine wasn’t as skunky as Heineken, but was even weaker.

This was popular with Hill-Billies when I was visiting rural Somerset. As a city slicker born and raised, I could not get into this. This aint a pilsener at all for 1. Overly sweet .Grainy and dry ,with apple esters and a crapload of H20.

50 cl can @ hotel room at Agadir. Rated on 22.12.2009
Very light aroma is sweetish with malt. Flavour is also rather light with sweet, bready malt. Quite boring and light in taste, but still drinkable anyway and better than some other bulk stuff.

Paid 99 cents for a 12-oz single. Green bottle, some sort of undecypherable freshness code on back. Yellow. No head, even with a hard pour. Very Heiniken smelling- grassiness, slight skunk, nothing nice. Taste isn't bad- but it's not very good. Tastes like a combination of an American macro and Heiniken... a little grassy, nothing much else. I wouldn't recommend this beer to anyone. For 99 cents, it was worth it, I suppose, for trial purposes.

One of the worst pale lagers I’ve ever tried. Gassy, flat and acidic. Was it a beer?

A poor man's Heineken that actually ended up tasting better than Heineken. Feels light in the mouth and sparkly. Not great by any means but if you drink non-special beers and are looking for some sophistication, look no farther than Bavaria; Don't buy the Heiny!
