Aside from unenforceable puffery on the label, this beer poured golden with a white head that subsided in short order. The aromas that were there didn’t impress a whole lot. Golden malt and little else. Flavours of... of... not a lot. This seems to be a not a lot beer. It was fizzy and was wet. It’s like having "This boy is sometime punctual" and nothing else appear on your school report.

Neptunius777 (24) - AUSTRALIA - DEC 16, 2011
375 mL bottle poured into a 25 cL Leffe glass. Icy golden brown pour, with a foamy head dissipating moderately . golden brown body . the aroma was subtle, fruity . The taste was hoppy, astringent , bitter and refreshing. Longer finish, strong lingering bitterness with the suggestion of Artemesia absinthium. great mouth feel, augmented by its carbonation which was slight and delicate, not overpowering.

tkrjukoff (2236) - SWEDEN - DEC 5, 2011
Bottle 33 cl @ hotel in Melbourne. Pours clear golden with a large fluffy head leaving lots of lacing. Aroma is malty, a bit sweet, fruity, boiled veggies and soapy. Flavor is fruity, malty, sweetish, not too bitter and a bit acidy. Finishes with a nice malty and bitter aftertaste. Good summer beer, refreshing.

Benzai (2288) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 1, 2011
Bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Standard yellow / golden pilsener color, average sized white head, sparkling body. Standard average pilsener smell as well: malts, lightly grainy, little bit bitter. Taste is better than average though: pretty fruity, ok bitterness. Quite decent pilsener.
