Pretty good approximation of a full pilsner. Straw and toffee nose. Quite grassy. Could do a lot worse for the style.

joe19612 (1110) - camberley, Surrey, ENGLAND - SEP 25, 2011
Bottle. Pours a pure golden colour with a creamy white head that fades quickly. Aroma is a hint of citrus and yeast, the taste is watery and a hint of some fruits with a dry finish.

matingara (4) - AUSTRALIA - SEP 17, 2011 does not count
tried this in honor of an old school friend named "Paul Messina". was pleasantly surprised by the "hops-forward" bouquet. the initial hit on the palate was full of citrus but the finish was extraordinarily dry - as if the taste was vacuumed out of my mouth. very refreshing. very "euro" in style to my palate.

armando629 (1939) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAY 28, 2011
0,33 l bottle as a gift.
Poured pale yellow with a small white head. Typical aroma and flavor of an average pale lager, nothing to write about it. Some sweet malt, sourish yeast, minimal hop. Dull.

johndoughty (2814) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JAN 29, 2011
Bottle.Tried at Jamies Italian in Birmingham. Clear very low carbonation and a pleasant presence of malt. i was surprised that it was produced by a hated multi national. Not a bad drink and Jamies is also recommended.

Not great not bad. A crisp refreshing, carbonated clear, light easy drinker. Not too bad.
