2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 TerenceHua (87) - , SINGAPORE - FEB 23, 2009
Doesn’t look fantastic. Pretty simple nice aroma though - malt with a tad bit of sweetness. Crisp and clean, it’s easy on the palate. Delicate malty flavour without being overpowering. Slight fragrant aftertaste to it and, a little tinge of some kind of sugary feel in the middle. Nice bitter on the low to medium end. Hoppiness is well balanced. Starts and finishes simple. None of the fancy spicy, woody, nutty or metallic undertones - this brew is of trustworthy straight character. Can’t really go wrong if you are reaching out for a time tested thirst quencher, which you don’t have to be too intellectual about. Real value for money. One of the better mass produced light body lagers.

33cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger white head that settles quickly but still laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and grassy with notes of bread, yeast, petrochemicals, nuts, and some hints of caramel and honey. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of bready yeast, grain, grass, and honey. Generally light body with a clean grassy finish.

1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20 Frovigalning (1320) - Örebro, SWEDEN - FEB 22, 2009
UPDATED: APR 12, 2009 Not a beer you should buy for the taste. Bland taste, I get the feeling Im drinking a mix of chemicals, beer extract with some added booze to get the alcohol level up. It looks alright in the glass but thats about it.

had this in hong kong sitting at the fleet landing, it was all they had on the first floor, but that was okay, it was a nice brew to just sit with and chill.
pours a pale yellow with a medium size white foamy head, nice lacing.
smell is of grain, some hops, and malt in the back.
taste is clean, grain, corn, sweet malt, and ends a little dry.
1.6 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20 austone (1062) - Turku; Pori, FINLAND - FEB 17, 2009
Canned, with 4.5%. Golden, frothy white head. Sweetish, mineral and a tad metallic aroma. Sweet sugary flavor, light maltiness, strangely alcoholic and herbal bite in the finish. Unpleasant ESL aromas actually. Soft & mouthfilling carbonation. Always nice to see a modest ABV beer with honest malt liquor flavor.

Golden pour with thin white head. Sweet nose of corn and other adjuncts, . Flavor is sweet with a light impression of hops. Watery, bland, a tad perfumey. Another imported beer that isn’t worth the money or drinking.
