This is not a pils. Corn fired and nasty but still quite drinkable. Bad but kinda good as a quaffer.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Clear pale golden with a small white head. Light malty aroma. Sweet with just a hint of bitterness. Could be nice in the heat. Drinkable, but not much taste. [Backlog]

Clear golden, white head. Nice lager, just refreshing and easy to drink, no funny tastes (as sometimes with exotic beers)

Not awful. When you’re on a beach in Indonesia you appreciate a fresh bottle arriving at your table. But not exactly mastercrafted either, just what you’d expect from a SEA macrobrewery. Slight maize flavour.

Pours clear copper with a large off-white head and a light bready aroma. There is a mild pale malt flavor with slight hop bitterne

Bottled: Grainy, corny aroma. Notes of earth and hops. Golden color, nearly no head. Flavor is sweetish, corny and grainy. Some metalic hops too. Light bodied and cheap tasting. My first beer from Indonesia but not more...

bottle. Poured clear amber with a small white head. Hoppy skunky aroma. Light mouthfeel, crisp carbonation. Bland grainy flavour, a bit dry, not horrible just not good.

Bottled. Yellow and clear with a medium white head, fully diminishing in seconds. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is like aroma, soft carbonation. Refreshing only.

pale, clear, white foam, cereal, bread, thin feel, medium sweetness, medium bitterness,

Golden yellow with white foam head, quickly dissapearing. Some smell of coal, not too bitter, some earth tones. Bit high carbonated. Our former colony should know better. (Arnhem, 201112)

Nice looking beer with a sparkling amber appearance, fear bit of carbonation as well, head dissapears quickly. Smell and taste appears metalic. Drinkable but not great.
