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

Amber, clear, large head; well carbonated; smooth, sweet malt backed up with some earthy bitterness; dryish finish; unspectacular but an ok pale lager.

Very smooth but mostly tasteless session lager. Very refreshing but offers little aroma and flavour

foxo82 (478) - Tamworth (via Leicester), Staffordshire, ENGLAND - MAY 20, 2012
Bottle from House of Fraser, Birmingham. Pours clear amber, fizzy with just a halo of head. Aroma is strongly hoppy for a lager, with Marmite. Watery mouthfeel and disappointing flavour - initial bitterness and diluted Marmite but a short finish. Poor.

stobbe74 (3788) - DENMARK - MAY 6, 2012
Pours a clear and golden beer with a weak white head. The aroma is malt and vegetables (DMS). The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall a boring beer.

larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 23, 2012
Small white head. Deep yellow body with light carbonation. Light grainy aroma with rubbery fruity notes. Dry-sweet grainy earthy taste with vegetal maize notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish (and faintly acidic) grainy maize aftertaste with earthy floral notes. Decent, but far from great. (0.375l bottle, Taste, Hang Hao, Hong Kong.)

Aubrey (3341) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - APR 5, 2012
Gold hue with a thinnish head. Slightly skunky nose. Soft carbonation. Light texture. Watery in the middle. Cloying finish. Weak malt flavors of bland crackers and red apples. Faintly herbal hops, and only a slight bitterness. Unexciting, sticky, and bland.
