My Danish cousins drink a lot of this. It has a yellow appearance with a medium white foam head. Has a readily apparent smell of hops. No bitter aftertaste.

Thin golden pour with a creamy white head. Taste has corn and some malts ,abit sweet, but really nothing to write home about.

Bottle. Pours a light golden yellow with a thin, white, clingy head. Taste is of some malt, some grass and some corn. Has a little sweetness to it. Aroma is of malt and corn. Fairly watery, kind of bland, with some bitterness. Has a decent drinkability to it and is fairly refreshing. Was better served in the bottle. Not a bad buy when it is on sale (6 pack for $5), but otherwise it is overpriced.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to nothing. Sour hay aromas. Crisp, sweet and slightly stale upfront with a hint of bitter hops in the finish.

Another non-descript pale lager. Looks pleasant enough, but doesn’t get beyond sweet malts and a hint of tired hops. Left a slightly metallic after taste.

Half decent for a session. Slight smell of grass and a touch of skunk, not unpleasant though. Taste is hoppy and a bit bitter.

Canette 500ml. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle, de maïs sucré avec des notes herbeuses, de légumes bouillis ainsi que des traces d alcool métalliques. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen mais croustillant ainsi qu une texture aux notes aqueuses et sirupeuses. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné dun léger goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de lentrée en bouche suivi dun goût de maïs plutôt sucré puis en finale lon retrouve un léger goût herbeux (faibles notes de houblon herbeux). Post-goût court et aux petites notes sèches, aux petites notes amères de houblon herbeux avec une petite sensation métallique.

Feb 2, 2007 Can in Amsterdam. Eggy smell. Hoppy, eggy and watery taste. Just another lager, but macrohouse. Quite poppy with lots of mouthfeel.
