UPDATED: AUG 7, 2008 Can 0.33 l. Golden, foamy head. Grassy, slightly malty nose. Flavor is thinly malty, a bit metallic with a nice hoppy aftertaste. Good hoppiness for a low alc.

Can. Golden colour, small white head. Light malty aroma. Very thin and watery, some malty and grainy notes. Mild bitterness in the finish.

Pale golden, clear beer. Medium- sized but diminishing head with some lace. The aroma is light and clean, dryish pilsner-malty, slightly grainy. Grassy hops in the finish. Taste has dry maltiness with some bitterness in the finish. Light bodied palate, soft texture.

Bottle. Light pale golden with medium white head. Watery with a low malt taste. Very thin. Way too much water but maybe nice a warm day

Pours golden with small white head; aroma from carboardy to non-existent; flavor is skunky and sweet; aggressive carbonation is not enough to hide the thin body; terribly far from being pleasant even in the hot sauna close to hypohydration.

Pours clear and light golden with a medium white head that disappears quickly. A watery mouthfeel with some bitterness. Grassy hoppy aroma. Quite carbonated.

Can. The colour is very, very, very pale yellow. The white foam sinks quickly down to a thin lid.

The smell is quite weak; there are notes of hay, chalk, wet paper and a hint of some hops.

The carbonation is short and sticky.

The taste is extremely thin. I could notice some dry grass and wet paper. There is a total lack of development and body in this brew. The very weak aftertaste got some touches of chalk.

This beer is the worst low alcohol beer that I have seen so far ( low alcohol brew are quite popular in Sweden due to tax regulations and traditions). It is brewed exclusively for the Germany-based low price grocery chain Lidl.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2010 I bought this by mistake. I was supposed to buy the one with more alcohol. Not annoying taste like in many beers, but anyway this tastes more like water with bubbles, and quite much of them. Like I said, no bad taste, but useless, and still a bit hard to drink because of the bubbles. [Can] (appearance 3 for all because i don’t care about that, unless it’s somehow great or bad)

FINKBRAU RULES EVERYTHING. This stuff is so cheap, buy it down your local Lidl for sod all. Gets you drunk quickly and is not too gassy, which is great for a lager. This stuff is #1 on my list of godly beers. \o/ BEST. DRINK. EVAR!
