2008 Botle - Pours pale transparent yellow with a large frothy white head...aroma is grassy lager skunk and faint malt...flavour is all of the skunk, none of the malt...sour corn finish...this is just not good...

Pours a clear, pale, yellow-gold color with a quickly fleeting, fizzy white head. Very little lacing noted. The aroma shows typical, skunky, pale lager notes of sweet corny malt, cardboard, dry grains, and faint floral hops. Flavors follow suit, proving to be equally unimpressive. Corny malts and distant, grassy hop notes are clouded with a stale, grainy, paper-like element. Light, weak body. Awful beer.

Bottled. A light golden beer with a thin white head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty, but also with a cardboard note. Thanks ompher for sharing.

A bit better than the majority of lagers here but you can find better. Minimal head hoppt aromas and taste/.

Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival 2007 afterfestival at Per’s
Light blond color. Light hay aroma. Light flavor, not even bitter. Very poor.

Draught at a wine expo in Thessaloniki. Pours pale yellow, small white head. Aroma is grassy with light hops and a bit of malt. Flavor is the same. Basically a generic Euro-lager, but decent for what it is.

Bottled
Golden color, not much head. Dull hoppy aroma. Diacetylic and grassy. Short aftertaste. Booooring.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Pale yellow colour, not much head. Aroma is grassy, malty, and some buttery notes. Flavour is grassy, malty and some hoppy hints. Not the most exciting thing.

Bottled. Pale golden, no head. Phenolic and lightly buttery. Medium sweet and fairly light bodied with rounded mouthfeel.No bitterness. A mere step up from the commercial lagers.

Bottle, poured a light gold with a filmy white head. A light grainy malt aroma. A strong flavour, malty with some good hoppiness, maybe a little skunkish.
