2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz green bottle. a party leftover...I was told this was purchased because it was even cheaper than PBR cans! The pour is about the same as the PBR...less head and less lace though...maybe just a shade deeper color. Aroma is not nearly as offensive as the PBR...mainly because I can’t really smell anything! Maybe just this very faint hop presence...very faint. Faintly hopped and a touch of malt shows up...the finish is better than the PBR...I don’t get that grossly sweet corn lingering...it does finish crisp and quick. Not bitter though...there is still some sweetness, but it tastes like malt rather than corn or something worse...Maybe good for a quick quencher, but not much to get excited about here.

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.

Medium body, golden colour and big head. Aroma and flavior is rather boring. Refreshing when enjoyed icecold.

Canned sample. Golden in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of slightly sticky pale malts, and a wiff of grassy hops. Simplistic pale malt flavors to start, followed by some harsh/husky grain notes, with a solvent-like finish. Pretty basic stuff.... vaguely drinkable.

Nice gold color with hardly any head or aroma. Has a faint grainy malt flavor with medium body. There’s not much here.

I really like the way this beer looks, light golden color, lively carbonation, huge creamy (maltose induced) head. Unfortunately, it stinks... that is, the aroma is unfortunate. (What’s Dutch for "skunk?") This is very soft in the mouth and actually doesn’t taste too bad in a mild, malty way. But there’s little neligible hopping, so this certainly isn’t a pils... at least, a good one. Watery clean finish.

Another medicinal skunk lager, yay. I thought brewers were using beta hop oils to get around that now. A little malt under there. Clear with some lacing. Very watery and low in flavor but has some delicate floral notes intermingled with industrial lager harshness. Wouldn’t be a bad keg party beer.

Golden with a decent white head. Some malt and skunk in the aroma. Light malty flavor. Typical euro lager.
