Somewhat of a cheap beer here in England, good for pregaming, decent taste and appearance, there are better but when you are low on money , it is decent

Gurst (338) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - MAR 29, 2005
UPDATED: APR 4, 2005 Drinkable and light, good malt and hop with very interesting undertones. Others say chemicals and soap, but I suppose different strokes for different folks, eh? Similar to the Carlsberg Export, but not as good in any of the ways it is. All around an ok beer.

I thought this was supposed to be RateBeer.com, not RateFermentedPiss.com? The taste reminded me of the time I touched a 9-volt battery to the tip of my tongue. Another great European Lager. "Metallic Vomit Soap" describes it best. Potential buzz…maybe.

Burner (78) - Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA - NOV 28, 2004
Disgusting mass produced crap, only marginally better than carling and fosters. Watered down, little flavour, no aroma other than the usual artificial smell.

When served as a pint here in the UK, I’m basicallly given an artificially coloured, chemically syrup muck. Still popular though.

Mungo (2472) - Southampton, Hampshire, ENGLAND - JUN 9, 2004
UPDATED: OCT 25, 2005 Keg on Exeter crawl . Pretty much bland with what little flavour there is hard to find. Not as gassy as some or unpleasant

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 21, 2004
UPDATED: MAY 22, 2004 The second beer (after Fosters) in my keg lager odyssey. I was surprised to discover that this is markedly superior to the Fosters (but still not good). At least it is quite fresh and had the slightest hint of crisp hop character. Still bland though. Next up was Corona.

Absolute watered down piss. Really Really horrible, no redeeming features, needs to be poured at all cost.

DanielBrown (3167) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 17, 2004
On tap at Primitivo, Birmingham. Plain, very pale Lager, with nothing to set it apart from the crowd. Some sweetness, and a medium burst of refreshing crispness, but it disappears all too quickly, and becomes watery.
