Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Neutral colour of gold and aroma of hops. But it has got a very interesting taste of ice-cream.

MichaelBruch (1482) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - SEP 11, 2012
Bottle shared with McTapps. Very interesting lager with a decent sweetish aroma and taste. Full body with aroma of honey and bubble gum. Nit a rocket but easy to drink. A bit above average.

McNeillR (249) - SCOTLAND - SEP 10, 2012
Dirty yellow body and an imbalance head that looks like someone spat in the middle - rather than any disseminating ring. Generic squashed malt nose. Tight carbonation and diluted hop scheming help the initial taste but this crumbles apart completely on the overall palate. Cheap digestive biscuit dryness, tickly finish frantically salvaging some flavour through refreshment but nothing good enough to keenly go back to the pouring.
I really don’t understand what’s premium about this, other than where I bought it and how cheap it was in comparison to the better known bottles on the same shelf.
Bottle, Waitrose, Edinburgh

Couldn’t pass up a Peru tick at a Mexican restaurant in London, bottle
Appearance: Clear golden with a small white head, no lacing
Aroma: Mild aroma of honey and grainy
Taste: Grainy, honey and sweet candy
Not bad for what it is.

Nice barley aroma and taste in this. Minor stickiness in the head, fairly fluffy for a pale lager. 62 cl bottle from UK grocery. Nice flavor to this one, not watery or bland.

OleR (4247) - Oslo, NORWAY - SEP 1, 2012
0.33 L bottle, in courtesy of yngwie. Thanks mate! Dense yellow-shaded blond head. Shiny, deep gold colored body. Faint bready malts to the nose. Whiffs of metel and grass. Fairly clean, light sourish-sweet malt flavor. Noticable grassy bitterness. Light to medium full. Soft sparkling carbonation. Light astringent endnotes. Not very exciting, but not worse than the similar eurolagers.

Bottle courtesy of Nisse666. Pours pale golden with a small white head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is sweet and tiny fruity with artificial sweeteners, cereal, hay, banana bread, persimmon and straw. Taste is sweet and tiny bitter with cereal, canned vegetables, straw, metal, hay and dry soil. Mouthfeel is tiny round, tiny sticky sweet and light bodied. Finish is sweet and slightly bitter with cereal, straw, persimmon and dry soil.

kitting (69) - Oviedo, SPAIN - AUG 22, 2012
No es la Premium Cristal, con eso lo digo todo! Es una cerveza del montón, a la altura de cervezas españolas. Tiene algo más de cuerpo, pero no acompañado de un sabor más estructurado.
