clear and pale yellow colour, aboslutely no foam; one-dimensional aroma of grapefruit and sugar; incredibly sweet; almost no malt body; long sticky and deeply sweetish grapefruity aftertaste - pfouaaaahh !

Bottle. Pours light yellow with a fizzy head. Smells and tastes like generic citrus fruits, I don’t know if I would say grapefruit if it wasn’t written on the bottle. Sweet and soda-like. Not awful.

33 cL clear bottle. Pours pale yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is citric and grapefruity. Sweet and citric flavoured, distinct grapefruity note. Sweet and citric finish.

Appearance: Pale golden. Tiny amount of white head. Aroma: Shandy, grapefruit. Not like beer. Taste: Grapefruit, shandy. Well-hidden hops. Again, and alcopop not a beer. Info: 275ml bottle, 31/5-2009

Bottle "thanks" to CSA/Gunnhild. Clear pale yellow with a small fizzy head. Same as the lithci - very sweet and artificial.

Bottled 27.5cl. It pours an extremely pale yellow beer with a white head. Some grapefruit in the nose. Sweet taste. Decent lacing. The eve beer I "enjoyed" the most.

Bottle at home - tasting - thanks CSA/Gunnhild. Clear yellow - white head. Grapefruit, acid, high sweetness, dryness, white sugar.

pale color the grapefruit-taste(artificial,sweet,lemmonade like hides malty or hoppy notes, perhaps you can find some traces of smell and taste/aftertaste of old bread,should that be the only beary trace? a little,little bit less artificial than the litchi one but still terribly artificial here you see that cardinal is ownwd by feldschlösschen switzerland bäääh!!

bottle. Extremely pale yellow, tiny head. Very sweet and fruity indeed, I cannot detect any trace of beer in this drink. Not too bad if seen as a lemonade though.
