Can. Pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, grain. Flavour is sweet, malt, hay, fruit, grain. Boring beer.

(my bottle - identical label as illustrated - claims 5% ABV) Clear gold; thick and fluffy yellow head, fed by heavy carbonation, but not very stable. Very grainy nose, and the same time sulphuric - and meant is H²S! This is "skunked", as you Americans call it, big time. Boring, light-sweet pilsener, some maize/corn. And if "hops can easily be distinguished" it must be by their utter absence. Watery texture, with a nearly slimy mouthfeel. Once gotten over the rotten eggs nose, this is "easily drinkable"? If you forget your retronasal perception, perhaps - with a good thorough cold?

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2007 Bottled. A light golden beer with an orange tint. The aroma is quite mellow with some hops and no expected grassiness. The taste is also clean and mellow with a passable hoppiness. Quite pleasant and certainly more enjoyable for me than most beers of this style.

Clear yellow appearance from all directions, due to a very thin, filmy white head. Smells of sharp, sulfuric DMS and mildly skunky saaz hops. Fizzy, bland, almost flavorless up front, really not even noticed until the finish, which isn’t so bad as is it boring and expected. Semi-sweet corn syrup and bitter honey flavors on the back, though fairly mild. Was expecting worse, but honestly this is quite drinkable if the goal is simply refreshment, when really anything cold and fizzy would hit the spot.

Bavaria/Netherlands? Mmmm. This is quite a bland pilsner that is being sold everywhere in the UK at the moment. It may be omnipresent, but its not that good.

Bottle. Golden colour with a small white head. Malty aroma and a light sweet malty taste. Light body with a sweet light dry finish.

This is a bad beer tasting thats foresure. Aroma is minimal, but i think the can has helped it from not being skunky in any way. Taste is better than expected to be honest, with some sort of hops having a wee say.

Bottle. Very simple yellow pour with white head. Aroma is skunky with some hops and malt. Little to desire in the flavor, no need to further evaluate.
