COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A European style lager brewed from the finest quality pilsner malts. This beer is fermented at a lower temperature than most Australian lagers, and employs an extended maturation period. These combine together with a mixture of kettle and late hopping to yield a crisp pale lager

BVery (4251) - Burnsville, Minnesota, USA - OCT 9, 2012
Green bottle. Light gold appearance with a very small white head. Light honey sweetness on the nose. Lower carbonation than many pale lagers. Not completely awful.

The head is unrobust, the body golden. It smells a bit malty refreshing, mild. The taste is malty, mild, a bit citrus refreshing. Medium 8/7/7/7/11/7

Pours yellow with no head and a small amount of carbonation. Not much on the nose, some citrus hops and cheesy yeast. Full taste, some citrus. Average lager

Bif (1023) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - AUG 31, 2012
Bottle- Pours a light golden color with a small head that fades to a bit of lacing. Mild aroma of grain and a trace of hops. Mild taste of malt sweetness with a bit of grain. There is a slight bitterness and a clean finish. Light body, slight crispness, smooth and a bit light on flavor. Decent non-offensive euro lager. Bland but seems to compliment most meals.

Bottle. Smells like beer. Tastes overly sweet for my taste buds, with some bitterness. Drinkable if it is a stinking hot day and the beer is icy cold. Not recommended.

Bottle- A stock standard pale lager, nothing special, but not offensive and drinkable on a hot day.

I did not care for this beer, and couldn’t finish it. Did I get a bad bottle? There was a pronounced funkyness to this beer I couldn’t quite put my hand on. I didn’t know if maybe this was a rye beer or something.......maybe hay, or grass? Maybe it’s just because the beer I had before it was a different one.

goozen (2313) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - JUL 23, 2012
Bottle 0,33ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an crisp clean taste, very safe taste if i may say.

Deu (395) - IRELAND - JUL 21, 2012
Very clear and smooth basic lager . Nothing to stand out. I don’t recommend and probably will never try it again

Scrapersnbeer (980) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - JUL 11, 2012
Dirty stale malt and mild hop aromas. Medium orange color. Same old corn sweetness found in many lagers. Offers a minor bitter contrast. Heavy for lager, yet watery at the same time.
