1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
(Bottled) Clear yellow-golden with a small, lacy head. Aroma of corny malt, cardboard, corn. Flavor is corny-malty, slightly metallic and cardboardy, with a touch of fruitiness. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, somewhat refreshing. A basic bulk lager - nothing more, nothing less. 3333
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Super light beer from which I could detect the skunky scent from 3 feet away. Virtually no flavor here, just vaguely citrusy, airy, crappy. Watery malt. This may be better in the Netherlands, but here it sucks.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Medium coarseish white head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Malty straw aroma with apple notes. Dry mealy papery straw taste with apple notes. Mid-bodied. Smoothish mouthfeel. Dryish papery caramelly straw aftertaste. Smooth and clean. Dryish papery caramelly straw aftertaste. Bland, inoffensive. (0.5l can, Duke’s, Victoria, Gozo.)
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Can courtesy of HogTownHarry. Not looking forward to this. Pours a clear pale gold with a large diminishing foamy white head. Not fresh aroma of grain, sugar, adjuncts, honey and faint floral hops -- could be worse but could be much better. Mild, sweet flavour of grain, bready malt, light hops, fake-ish honey and a somewhat harsh finish, you’d almost think it was high in alcohol but it’s only 5%. Light bodied. Far from the worse but it’s bland, slightly too sweet, unbalanced and a harsh finish -- does not make for a very good beer.

Bottled(330ml). -not so good Ive expected, ordinary taste and aroma
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Yellow gold out of the bottle, decent head. Terrific aroma of hops and grass, but very disappointing on the palate. Bland and watery compared to the nose. This is the same rating and description I gave Hollandia. There are many other better Dutch beers.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not much to say, this is a normal pilsner. Light yellow, low head. Some bitterness and a little sweetness. Boring.

Sampled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2003.
Golden with an ok head.
Fresh, somwhat hoppy aroma.
Thin and harmless international standard lager.
