If I had a choice of water or this...water would be first choice any day of the week. Would have to have little to no idea about beer to drink this trash

Tastes very much like watered down version of real thing. Lacks flavour, even surpassed by lighter beers. Little on back of tongue. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bygers (279) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 21, 2012

Bif (1021) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - AUG 15, 2012
Bottle- Pours a clear yellow color with a small head that fades to no real lacing. Aroma is sort of musty with some grain and malt sweetness. Taste of sweet malt and grain. Mild bitterness and a sticky finish. Light body, fairly smooth and pretty bland. Pretty basic lager, bland and boring.

Pours a golden amber colour. Malty aroma. Taste malt with slightly bitter finish. Light carbonation. Light body. Watery. Just another lager.

that was awful, tasted like stagnant water, with stale bread, the only time i could handle this is after a game of footy. Drink it fast, dont savour the flavour

Gabonica (1) - Maroochydore, AUSTRALIA - FEB 14, 2012 does not count
Watery metallic aroma, with weak frothy head and despite the name suggests, not so golden colour, more yellowy pale. (like piss?) Not at all Bitter, also kinda watery taste, very light, poor carbonation, slightly more bitter at the end. Only enjoyable to drink during a hot day, goes down nicely when cold, so can be refreshing. My Mother in Law drinks it, god knows why.
