500 ml can. Aroma neutral without anything sticking out. Flavor nothing special. Your Standard Eurolager.

Lets be serious, this is another pale lager and there is only so much wiggle room of difference between them. With that being said, this is better than say, Budweiser, because it is not overly sweet; better than a Coors because its lets metallic, but when it's all said and done, it's a lager. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

50cl can in Sliema, Malta. Pours clear golden with a white head. Lightly malty aroma, reminds me more of a pale lager. Sweet and lightly malty with a noticable bitteneness in the finish. Didn’t like it much the first time i tried and it seems my feelings haven’t changed much. Drinkable, but far from my prefered choice. (2012-09-25)

Can. Pale golden pour with a small white head. Light cereal grain aroma and taste. Crisp and easy drinking, but forgettably boring.

On tap at the winzer stube. Tasty but nothing too spectacular. Easy drinking lager.

Tin. Pours yellow with medium white head. Aroma is a light grassyness. Malty flavour with an unpleasant greasiness in the mouthfeel. Greasiness continues in the light citrus hop finish.

660ml bottle Cold from the fridge poured into a large Tulip for topping up. Bright gold with a fluffy white head. Toasty cereal malt flavour and aromas, nice clean palate. Refreshing

Pint can. Poured crystal-clear, brighter golden with a sticky white head. The aroma picked up fresh honey and toasted grains with light lemon zest and earthy accents.. solid. The flavor found bread and honeyed maltage at the core, with fresh lemon zest and light white pepper around.. crisp and refreshing finish. Lighter-bodied with high-ish carbonation on the palate.. good balance, feel, and flow.. surprisingly enjoyable.

Bottle. Clear light copper color. Thin head with lacing. Aroma of malt, grain and some citrus hops. Light malty taste. Harsh on palate. Lively carbonation. Slightly bitter finish.

500ml can. Pale, clear gold yellow with a moderate creamy head. Smells light a Euro lager, sweet malt, aluminum, a little skunk, a little floral hops. Taste is very metallic, toasted grain aftertaste. Light body. Overall, a decent training wheels import for people to break out of the domestic macros.
