Blond hazy color. Light malt aroma. Sweeter than other Boxer's, but with less interest; and the usual quite bitter final.

light legal-pad yellow. head is as stout as wet toilet paper, functioning only in the context of a brisk pour. aroma is virtually an empty canvas: the artist had very little to say: a suggestion of straw here, a wispy outline where a breadstick could appear there. likewise the flavor is streamlined to roll over the tongue making almost no impression: a stealth beer. the fact that it is packaged with a steel and porcelaine latch top is a hilarious incongruity: for this featherweight lager to bear such a formidable archival quality closure is like an iron manhole cover where seran wrap would suffice. simulataneously inoffensive and utterly uninteresting.

pale golden colour, almost no head, fresh, no aroma, desperately neutral, a touch of paperboard in the finish makes sure my senses are not dead ...

Tested back in 97...A strange start, but an excellent finish. A little watery in the middle.
