Bottled. A dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of cardboard and malt as well as a light note of caramel. The body is light. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, 4%. Metallic aroma. In the glass, the beer is almost clear, dark golden. A thick layer of yeast is left in the bottle. The flavour is slightly bready with a little green apple. Not good.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Clear deep golden with a white head. Somewhat oxidized aroma. Light body, heavy carbonation, very dry with perfumy and soapy accents - odd. Dry finish. 040409

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Roasted malt aroma, light oxidised. Dry and cardboardish malt flavoured. Light bitterness. Dry bitter and malt flavoured finish.

The newest addition to the family of Israeli macro lagers (already about a year+ old) coming a few years after the commercial demise of Maccabee Light. I think this one’s heading towards failure as well very soon. Clear amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma has graininess, a bit of cooked corn character, faint toasted malt and hop hints. Sweetish flavor with some malt. Later, some light bitterness with hoppy hints and some metal. Light-bodied and quite watery. Pretty similar to regular Goldstar, just a bit worse. Still drinkable when served cold.
