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.

Bottle at Delirium Café. No noticeable aroma. Drab but crisp pale lager with slight malt.

czar (2232) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 8, 2013
can from mathieuc, thanks for the tick! pours clear very pale hay with a small and disappearing white head. corn, adjuncts, maybe some pepper, faint cereals - watery in fact, bland and faint herbalness. prickly to average carbonation, light body - watery, short to no finish. relatively dry.

tom10101 (1057) - Quebec, CANADA - MAY 4, 2013
Can. Thanks Mathieu! Clear yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma of corn and grain along with herbal notes. Taste is moderately sweet and about the same as aroma. Noble hops presence. Light body, watery. Somewhat drinkable.

Hoppypocket (110) - Trois-rivieres, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 4, 2013
Pours a clean golden with white head. Little lacing. Aroma of corn, grainy malt, this is gonna be epic. Taste is grainy, corn, little to no hops, some sweetness. Low body and low carbonation. Getting trash Indonesian style.

Pyobon (728) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAY 3, 2013
(Bottle) Clear yellow golden with slight short-lived loose white head. Aroma has grassy, slightly metallic, hops. Light body, with pleasant crisp carbonation. Flavour is simple: rather over sweet with some balancing acidity. There’s no bitterness in the finish but a slightly sour vegetable taste. Overall it’s drinkable, but not good.

Ibrew2or3 (5777) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - APR 13, 2013
33cl green glass bottle pours with a crystal clear gold that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up sugary pilsener malts, some table sugar and then a faint semblance of sweetness enhanced floral hops. The taste delivers a bit of carbonation enhanced prickly bite along with a vague Noble Hop-ish hop bitterness that tries to contain the sweet pils maltiness. There’s drinkability here but not sure I’ll seek out another one.

sic1314 (959) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 12, 2013
Poured very light golden with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Watery body, not much taste of any kind. Utterly bland and inoffensive.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - APR 9, 2013
Mittelpilsiges gelb mit ordentlicher Blume. Neben dem grasigen Hopfenaroma deutliche Fehlaromen, die primär säuerlicher Art sind. Dünner Antrunk. Die säuerliche Grundtendenz im Geschmack erinnert eher am Chinesen um die Ecke als an ein echtes Pils. Nicht mein Geschmack.

KnutAlbert (5186) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 2, 2013
Bottle. dark gold, fluffy head. This is OK, as tropical lagers go. Fruity and malty body, and, while the hop dryness is rather implicit, there is a decent balance. Mango, roses.
