Medium yellow color with a cramy white head. Sweet but mild corn aroma. Mild corn flavor slightly masked by sweetness and carbonation.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2008 Draft... Very light yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. I get nothing out of the aroma at all. Completely nondescript... but not offensive. The flavor is just a touch citrusy and way too sweet for me. No balance at all. Finishes bittersweet.

UPDATED: MAY 28, 2006 11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a light straw color with a small white head. Smells malty and yeasty with a little bit of pepper and wet hay. Pretty light in taste, slightly sweet malts and biscuity--a little grassy too. Barely discernible bitter finish. Not my favorite style, but not bad for a pilsener.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of frothy fine to large sized of unnoted length white colored bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body contained suspended carbonation, was thick with suspended yeast and hazy from all the stuff floating around in it and yellow orange in color. Its aroma contained notes of malt hop yeast . Its mouth feel is tingly thick malty with a lingering mild malt bite in the aftertaste. Its flavor contained good malt hop notes. Rather un-pilsner like but very good.

Bottled, pasteurised, 330ml. Golden colour with forced CO2 head. Thin, malty, bready flavours without much aroma or hoppiness. Dry but harsh on the tongue, there is an acidity in the aftertaste. Not very keen on this.

Pours a light gold with a thin lasting head and some lace. Aroma is intially some herbal and spicy notes, but moves more towards a light bready malt and some hints of hops. Light bready malt flavor with a decent hop bitterness and a slight metallic aftertaste.

Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and some hops. Flavor is typical pilsner, not a lot of hops, a nice smooth taste.

Paid $1.49 for an 11.2 oz can at Whole Foods, Charlottesville. Pours light golden yellow with a decent white head. Smells of cheapish beer, yeast, and not much else. Flavor is surprising, since it’s not nearly as bad as I had expected. It’s light and inoffensive, though not sucking me in to buy more. Honestly, I’ll probably never have another, but if someone bought me one, I could drink it without gagging.

a grande example that belgian beer can also suck. ok, it’s a pilsner and not my favorite style. like all pilsners, i don’t see too much difference.

Pours a cloudy straw color, with carbonated white head. Aroma and flavor similar with yeast, tiny amounts of hop and malt both hidden, mostly mediocre on a good day.
