Pours a clear straw yellow colour with a thick fluffy head that actually lasts for a little while. Nose is faint, but there is some grassy hops present there. Favour is a little bit skunky, and kind of tastes like flour, kind of chalky. I guess it’s fairly dry. The hops that were present in the nose don’t come through so much in the taste, just a bit of bitterness. Aftertaste pretty much doesn’t exist. Carbonation is a bit low for a pils or a pale lager or whatever it’s supposed to be.

This one is rated a little lower than I would have expected. It’s nothing great, but it was a fairly clean tasting lager. Went down smooth. 1664 is a lot better though.

500ml can sampled from a friend. This err... wasn’t good. It wasn’t horrible either. There isn’t really much to say about it. Take your average lager and shift the flavour around a bit. No hops present on the tongue, not sweet either. Just plain and boring. But not disgusting either. Take it as you will.

Gethinbeer (1524) - Musky, Nova Scotia, CANADA - FEB 5, 2008
Bottle. Crisp,fresh aroma with hints of citrus. Golden in colour with a thin to non existent head. Fresh flavour, a little fruity but thin and weak. Not for me. Typical French beer.

JesseM (918) - Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 1, 2007
Well, there’s definitely some actual hops in there, and it’s slightly deeper in colour than a lot of other low-end lagers, but still, it had sort of a dirty dish-rag flavour to it. Weird floaties are quite evident as well. Made me slightly sick, but mostly from the carbonation. I guess it’s just one of lousiest pilsners available, so don’t expect much.

Canuckistani (41) - Dundas, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 27, 2007
Watery, yellow beer. The French can do much better. I picked it up because of the intriguing bottle design. Not worth it otherwise.

BINGEBOT (236) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 2, 2007
Yellow in colour, no head whatsoever. Smells wheaty with nothing too complex. Tastes like apple juice. Not much of a beer at all.
