Italian version, brewed at Heineken Italia’s Massafra plant. Poured a yellow-gold body with a medium sized white head that went away at (you guessed it) a medium pace. Ho-hum dusty malty nose. Sweetish sweaty rice, some alcohol? Kinda drinkable, sweet fruity corny notes. Still, unimpressive and dull. No aftertaste - fail. Expected worse.... maybe the Italian version’s better than the norm?

Not really a pale not really a lager I call this a macro manu rex a sourus. But fun at a party,,, Right? Well I guess if someone bought me this beer I couldnt complain, atleast not verbally. heavy (876), Split, Croatia
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Oct 15, 2009 09/10 was the day I finally got my hands on a 0.33 l bottle of this on a gas station near Voghera, Italy. Sounds crazy, but you know, as in the States it doesn’t have really a good reputation in Europe as well, so it’s avoided by distributors pretty much, no matter it’s a huge brand. Wanted to try this notorious beer for ages! It’s the Italian version anyway... It poured pale yellow body with medium sized head. Aroma is like it was some Asian beer, rice, some honey and hay malts. Flavor is quite empty, watery, only with some honey malt in the background. Completely boring and one dimensional, but hey, it’s nothing unpleasant, drinkable like a water and completely fine comparing to some things I’ve been poisoning myself :) mcberko (181), British Columbia, Canada
| 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Oct 14, 2009 Absolutely horrid. Tastes like someone urinated in a bottle and then carbonated it. Not even remotely drinkable. voiceofreason (51), New Jersey, USA

Doesn’t even taste good at a baseball game.
I do like the commercials though. ryancaa (4), North Dakota, USA does not count | 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2009 a good old american standby. although it may not be a great beer to enjoy purely for flavor. it is a great beer to crack and share with the guys. you wont break the bank, most people wont complain if you crack open and bud and hand them it. doomfistinc (21), New Mexico, USA
| 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Oct 9, 2009 Absolute swill. A golden, almost off white color, instantly dissipating head with no lacing to speak of. Tastes like someone put something in the water supply along with some booze and decided to bottle it. poisoneddwarf (225), Rathdrum, Idaho, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/20 | Oct 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Aroma of rice and blandness. Pours no head, no lacing. Pale gold in appearance. Tastes highly carbonated, somewhat sweet, extremely bland. Every time I’ve "sessioned" this beer in my younger days, it’s given me the nastiest headache. No other beer does this. Is it the formaldehyde (aka embalming fluid) they put in it as a preservative? Saying that this is the "king of beers" is like saying Ramen noodles is filet mignon. It’s like saying Nickelback is The Beatles. It’s like saying Tacoma, Washington is Paris, France. And it’s like saying the star basketball player on your local fifth grade team is Michael Jordan. I could go on with these analogies all night. It’s not the king of beers, no--what it is is the king of mass-appeal mediocrity.
