Bottle. Clear medium to dark yellow color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, light hoppy, fruit / apple. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to short duration. Refreshing. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (131007)

An orange beer with a small white collapsing head. The aroma is sweet of straws. The flavor is of straw, water and sourness. A very bad beer.

37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a diminishing white head. Light grainy to cornish aroma. Flavour is mild cornish with a medium sweet base. Slowly increasing bitterness into the finish.

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

Bottled. Pale yellow colour with not very much head. Aroma is only weak malts and hops and the same pretty much goes for the flavour. Very non-saying beer, which mainly is watery and boring. No real unclean notes in it though.

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...

Blond color. Very light aroma, smelly. Bad taste, dry, bread; washing water. This is a very bad beer!

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma and taste are malt, hops and straw. Weak but refreshing.

Bottle. Clear, pale golden, with a white, moderate head. Grain, hay, some dust and fruit in the aroma. The flavor is fruity, with a weak grainy note and lacking bitterness. Medium to thin body, with a slightly soapy mouthfeel. Fruity finish with a little bitterness, and some yellow apples. Decent, refreshing beer, but it’s too low on bitterness, and the mouthfeel is a bit awkward. (070926)

UPDATED: JUL 22, 2008 Clear golden with tiny off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel notes. Sweet cardboardish flavor with notes of caramel and malt.
