UPDATED: JAN 25, 2009 Malty and strong, this one is bearable, and makes you happy. Great when the local supermarket orders way too much and drops the price nice and low. A good choice for any student on a budget. Popular among the kiddies, also. Tastes like horse piss when warm.

Bottled. Citrus and matly flavour, with some metal notes. Flat palate. Not really interesting

Oh god oh god oh god. I can’t escape the feeling this is what a mass-producing light-lager factory does with the left-over bilge swill. Freeze it, harvest the bare-naked alcohol remnants, cook off the bacteria then bottle it as FLAME! Shockingly bad stuff.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a thick lazing white head. The aroma has notes of grain - nothing wrong just boring. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, malt, and some caramel, leading to a bitter and metallic finish.

Bouteille, wow le texte est plus intéressant que le produit. Bière désaltérante avec une touche de houblon. Cette bière a déjà été brassée par la Black Dog Brewery à Auckland.

Bottle 330ml. clear glass.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, light fruity and honey. Flavor is moderate honey sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, cardboard. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20100102]

33 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone white head. Light grassy to cornish aroma. Mild sweet cornish and malt flavoured. Light grassy bitterness. Medium dry finish.

Pours a deep golden with a moderate white head. Quite a lot of skunky euro-hop in the nose. Sweet malt cereal with skunky hop accents and a paperboard dry finish. Not nearly as bad as I anticipated, judging from the cheesy sales pitch on the label and the clear bottle. Still, average at best, elevated slightly by the splash of euro-hop goodness.

Bottle 33cl. Clear golden body with fast offwhite head. Not too pleasant sour aroma with a little malt. Flavour with a little sweet malt. A little fizzy.
