500ml can pours pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is light malt and hops. Taste is light malty sweet with undesirable cheap hop bitterness. Just a typical lager, nothing special.

A light, easy-drinking lager. Drink it ice cold and on a hot day, and you will enjoy it!

coldbrewky (1118) - Saugerties, New York, USA - AUG 20, 2011
Sturdy can via wife’s co-worker. Smells like grass rubbed into old socks. One dimensional. Tastes like apartheid. Corn prevails...and that’s a positive trait. Robust head.
