Wasn't expecting much from this relatively cheap import, nice appearance, slightly bitter taste

Not much of a pour with no head. Was a bit heavy on the hops with hay malt taste. Overall, not too impressed because of its bitter finish.

Looks good in the glass for about a minute, then all of the initial nice fine bubbles have been replaced with dull coarse bubbles, and the nice tight head has vanished. I found the aroma to be very promising, with a nice balance of malt and hop. The beer itself was quite nice, with a crisp bitterness and still a hint of hop detectable, but overall a little thin on the palate.

500ml can. Quite pale straw colored, with a frothy white head. Aroma might as well be urine. Flavor not as bad as I was expecting, initial sharp feel that smoothes over. I've had worse.

The overly effervesent body and dusty/pepper hops combine well to drown out the adjunct sweetened thin malt body. I would prefer this over many American lagers.

Smokey cereal, corn and vegetable aroma. Light mouthfeel, uneventful carbonation, with the same flavor as the aroma. The end of the drink is smooth, pastey, feeling like anestesia.

A reasonable lager. Nothing too interesting though. A good golden colour and slightly chemical taste. Overall not too bad though.
