2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, in GB.
Light golden with white head, almost lasting, OK lacings. Aroma moderate malty, light/moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter, vaerage duration. Light body, watery, soft carbonated.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pale golden, clear, medium head. I wouldn’t go so far as calling this "foul", but it is pretty boring. Sweet malt is really all you get for flavour (the same as all corn-adjunct, over-processed pale lagers on the market). I wouldn’t choose to drink it again if an alternative were available, but I wouldn’t turn it down if the beerfridge was empty on a Friday night. This is my standard review for all "two-star-or-less" piss.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
UPDATED: JUN 11, 2005 Bottled. With a bottle that looks like a Corona clone at least you could hope for something tasteless. Nah, instead they packed this golden coloured, headless beer with rotten pea soup flavour in a sea of saccharine sweetness. Of course there were no hops or malt. It is actually hard to imagine a beer tasting much more awful...
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Golden colour with a medium white head. Weak malty aroma and a light sweet malty taste. Light body and a thin finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
This stuff is seriously watery. Pale yellow colour. Aroma adn taste of really wet cardboard and water, not good.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: JUN 16, 2005 (Bottle 37,5 cl) Fully golden, nice creamy head. Lightly sweetish, sticky malt-feel. Pretty much no hoppiness. A yuppie-beer in it’s clear glass bottle. 210205
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Looks good in a clear bottle but has no distinct flavour. Like the crown, it looks better then it tastes
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Tasted in the interest of completeness.
Ultra clear gold to brown - very CUB like. Faint nose with some malts and some staleness, and, believe it or not, that winery smell you get when visiting the tank & fermentation area. Not a bad thing, except when it pops up in the bouquet of a beer.
Not as neutral in the mouth as I expected. Still a little stale but some ok maltiness lurks, bit of surprise actually. Very bloody fizzy as one would expect. Better than VB.
