SDbruboy (1864) - San Diego, USA - OCT 5, 2004
This is a pretty bad beer. Pours clear light yellow with a foamy head that lingers and leaves some lacing. Beyond the appearance, things sink fast. Aroma is sweet in an adjuncty sort of way with light hoppiness. Flavor is dry with a metallic sweetness and an oddly unpleasant tart finish. Light body and assertive carbonation.

angrybeerman (258) - Dublin, IRELAND - JUN 21, 2011
Pours straw with tiny white head. Little malt, notes of cereal and corn. Light malt. Finish is better than other pale lagers. Gets a worse press than it deserves due to its association with bums and teenagers. Actually better than other cheap counterparts and even some of the more expensive macro lagers. Still not a great beer though. Just drinkable.

Dorwart (2161) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - JUN 15, 2011
Decent sized bright white head of varying sized bubbles. Reduces to a sloppy bit of foam. Light orage and some biscuity malts. Pretty weak aroma. Color is a medium gold. Rice flavored water. Very little body. A real thirst quencer. Some cereal grains and spicy bitterness left behind. Not the worst I have had.

Can. Pours orange body with small white head. Aroma is light malt. Taste is slight skunk, bitter, a bit offensive.

SeanMacGC (330) - Dublin, IRELAND - NOV 1, 2008
Can, 50cl. Pours clear golden, with off-white short-lived head. Faint grainy aroma, and quite bitter and metallic on the palate. Cheap but not very cheeful.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 25, 2008
A light golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of malt as well as a light skunky note which could stem from brewing cereal. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

larsga (4663) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 25, 2008
Big offwhite coarse head does not last. Yellow body with carbonation. Acidic grainy aroma. Dry grainy papery taste with notes of corn and cardboard. Grassy mealy papery aftertaste. Watery, sugary feel to it. Bland and unpleasant, which is kind of an achievement. (0.5l can, Londis, Dublin. 4.2%, brewed by Zuidhollandse Bierbrouwerij.)
