Golden and mostly flat in appearance with a foamy, white head that settles in rocky peaks. Vegetable and grain aroma with an initial malty sweetness that becomes stale caramel later. A solid, malted lager with a bitter hop bite to finish. Metallic on the palate.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a fine, white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Decent body with notes of malt and some brewing cereal. Very hoppy finish. Actually a fairly decent lager. 090106

Very chemical. No real taste. A disgusting beer, though just better than Budweiser.

Bottled. Pours a clear gold, with a white head. Aroma is malty, hoppy. Taste is bland, slightly hoppy

Really, really boring. This brew is thin and watery. The aroma is untraceable and it has no actual flavour-components.

Ho hum, another boring imported lager. This one is darker than most, with a fizzy and quickly disappearing head. Tastes somewhat salty and a bit sweet. Bland but inoffensive; i could see drinking a few if these should the proper context arise.

very nice malt after taste. clean unique taste and with a very inviting colour. alrounded for a mass produced beer. head just lies on the thin side but carbonation through the drink is good. overall a very drinkable beer that should definately be tried

Nice malt taste with bitter hops in the finish, which linger a bit. Perfectly OK lager, but not outstanding in any way.
