Gold colour but lifeless - no carbonation, no head. Aroma is garbagey, grassy, alcoholic. Palate is adjunct-laden lager spiked with apple juice. Not worth my time.

Light yellow colored, little white head. Well, very bad aroma with rice and wet cardboard, some weird skunky lemon also here. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is similar, wet cardboard with lemon and some dry aftertaste. Can not finish.

350 ml can. Deep golden colour. Crystal clear. Small white head. Some bubbles rising. Apricoty and rich malty aromas. Notes of fragrant hops. American hops perhaps. Not at all grassy, but instead fruity. Light bodied. Some maltiness, but overall rather thin. More flavours than in most other local beers, and not as dry.

[Canned] Pale golden, airy, extremely head. Aroma of fruits and vegetables. Sweetish, thin and cidery, notes of over-ripe compost heap. Unclean and mellow. Dysmal.
