Malty_MacHops (562) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - MAR 4, 2013
Barely any aroma at all, slightly grainy. Pale golden with a fizzy white head. Undistinguished flavors, watery. Light bodied with a bland finish.

Somehow the clear bottle isn’t skunked. Too bad it is a sweetish and waery piece of crap.

dinkle50 (686) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 28, 2013
Super pale yellow fizzy pour. Single finger head faded quick. Aroma of corn and sugary syrup. Hints of grain and really light flavor overall. Grain and sugar dominate. No after taste and a thin mouth.

zvikar (2040) - Ramat Gan, ISRAEL - FEB 28, 2013
Bottle shared at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Pours slightly hazy with a frothy head, aroma of plastic and corn, flavor of corn, cornflakes with sugar, light bodied

lesifflebiere (443) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 26, 2013
Zéro mousse, quelquefois une grosse bulle remonte du fond. Couleur jaune franc, plutôt pâle et très mince en apparence. Odeur très forte de mouffette, qui est perceptible dès l’ouverture de la bouteille. Deux autres effluves se dégagent de ce breuvage tout de même assez odorant : le houblon et le maïs. Du sucre cuit et du maïs en bouche, et on ne peut s’empêcher d’y trouver un petit goût de sueur. Très aqueuse, plutôt désaltérante par ricochet. Il y en a des dizaines comme elle, dont la majorité qui la surpassent sans difficulté. Contribue à la réputation très ordinaire des bières latines.

Patrickctenchi (1693) - columbus, Indiana, USA - FEB 17, 2013
Clear, fizzy gold with a roiling white head. Strong, grainy skunkiness. Flavour is, sadly more of the same. Corn-sweet and watery. Pretty awful.

ralphdot (881) - Billingham, Durham, ENGLAND - FEB 14, 2013
5.2% orange colour with a thin head, sweet malt aroma, and sweet malt taste.

Nekronos (3183) - Xalapa, MEXICO - FEB 13, 2013
Quite annoying after a while. Not much to remember just a lager which is not so refreshing but only nonsense.

bytemesis (1413) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - FEB 13, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a small fizzy white head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is pretty strong grain, skunk, corn syrup. Taste is about the same, light sweet and no real bitterness present. Light bodied and unexciting in all respects.

MrBeerFanatic (722) - Buffalo, New York, USA - FEB 9, 2013
Pours a dull clear light yellow that produces a light head. Aromas of sweet grain, light skunk, and just a hint of grass. Flavors of sweet grain, slight sour grass, just a trace of caramel hidden almost and ebedy ebedy ebedy ebedy that’s all folks! Didn’t find any skunk in the flavors. Nothing distinct here from most other lagers on the major markets. Leaves hardly any aftertaste.
