Bottled@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, malts, earth and some mild notes of cardboard. Flavour is quite much the same. A lame and very bulk thing with not too much exciting notes in any way.

clear gold, headless, sweet corn aroma, lots of nice bitter hop flavor trying to balance the sweet core malt but the sweetness is so coying that it falls short,

Pale golden. Some hay-like hops, urine and vauge malts in the aroma. Accent is malty, but not overly so. Off-dry finish. In the Heineken vein of having some admirable characteristics, but overall too light to bother.

Bottled, 330ml. Pale yellow gold with white head. Tinny, sweet, sticky lager, thin, bland and pretty poor all round, avoid.

clear bright golden colour, almost no foam, paperboard nose, tart and medium-bodied, dry unpleasant plastic-like finish - Saverne gets my vote for the worst brewery in the world

Bottle 8.5 oz. 50 degrees from Party Town in KY. Poured dark straw color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet grass aroma. Light body with a syrupy texture and small particules. Light sweet flavor with a soft sweet finish of short duration.

250 ml bottle. Deep golden colour, thin white head with some sticky lace. Sweet malty aroma, light graininess with a bit of soapy character. Flavour is pretty simple, light malt, faint hopping with a light peppery finish.

Bottle sampled on 11/8/06: Pours a pale champagne golden with a thin coating of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel and noble hops. Body starts with a decent amount of sweet malt and thins toward a slightly bitter finish with a lager yeasty profile. A pretty standard pilsner.
