An orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straws. The flavor is very slight but sour malty with a dry end. Another boring lager.

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2005 (Bottle 37,5 cl) I had this years ago in Oz. Around the Millennium I saw it in one Danish supermarked, but then it vanished. Only to reappear in Denmark last year - I guess it had to do with the royal wedding, our very own crown prince marrying an Aussie las. Well, all this story-telling about a beer that hasn’t really anything going for itself. A completely bland pale lager. Fully golden colour, pretty much absent head. Some sweetness from the malt, medium body. But actually the packaging is the most interesting about this beer. Thanx to pjk33 and highlandlad for your to-the-point remarks on this. 210304

37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a creamy white head. Light malt and corn aroma. Flavour is medium sweet corn with a light bitterness. Ends with a mild bitterness and a light alcohol note.

Draught at Stockholm Beer festival 2000. Pale with rich head, light bodied, soft. No bitterness. Boring.

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2012 Bottled. Golden colour, minor white head. Aroma is hoppy. Flavour is fruits, raisins, hops and slightly malty. Flavour is quite pleasant, but a bit too sweet. 3 2 3 2 5.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grains, grassy hops and some mild herbal notes. Flavour is sweet malts, mild riped berries, fruits and some bready notes as well. 4 2 4 2 7.

Bottle. Clear golden with medium head. Sweet cardboardish with mild caramel notes.

Funky bottle. Actually, aside from "golden", all my notes have are numbers and a description of the bottle.

Pale blond color. Useless aroma. Very simple taste, with a similar bread (and bad) note as the Carlton Cold. Strong bitterness.
