rarbring (654) - Linköping, SWEDEN - OCT 29, 2012
Aroma: A smell of white bread, boiled vegetables, not much nose really.
Appearance: A pale straw colored lager with medium sized bubbles, a small white head leaving no lacing and small curtains,
Taste: A weak corn taste, a dash of lemon juices, some alkaloid bitterness.
Palate: Medium high carbonation, rather refreshing texture, a small body and a small short dryness.
Overall: In all a very standard euro pale lager, no thrills, no joy but no real badness either.
Note: On-tap at the Heathrow SAS Lounge. Reviewed 2012-05-02.

Very pale indeed. Industrial 4% lager that I actually prefer to its 5% sibling. It's ok for what it is. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jehoey (765) - Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 19, 2006
pint at club: Very smooth and drinkable. I think prefer it to standard becks, however, that could just be because it wasn’t skunked and it was my first Beck’s on tap. Yellow color with white head, cereal aroma. cereal taste with some bitterness. Wattery
