Not a terrible beer, but not great either. The pour is a bright golden straw with a thin white head. The aroma is mostly grainy with light grass hops and some citrus notes. Overall, not a great nose, but no skunk. The taste is sweet and grainy with no hop and tons of sweet boring grains. Overall, not a bad lager.

500mL can. Poured with white head light golden color into glass, grain and a little hop, not much else to this beer.

0.5L bottle. Clear yellow, stable bubbly white head. Fresh nose, foam has something of metallic and bitter. Aroma is quite malty, some hay and grains, mouth impact is smooth and sweet with a decent hoppy bitter finish. Medium body, thicker than classic pale lager, close to an helles. Average carbonation. Nothing more to say. I’ve always avoid this because of content of antioxidants, but now there aren’t anymore, as label says. Balanced but average.

pours pale gold from the can. aroma of detergent and flowers. highly carbonated. light body with a nice lasting hop finish. Nothing particularly note-worthy on this one, but better than expected.

500 ml bottle from Wasanas in Germany. As far as Pale Lagers go this is one of the better ones. Gold clear that poured very flat, almost no head. Aroma has some carbs and a lingering sweetness.The palate has some citrus and all round quite an easy beer to drink. Refreshing but not outstanding for a pale lager.

Geruch hopfig-käsig. Im Geschmack eine bitter-metallische Linie, die vom Antrunk bis in die Mitte reicht. Der Antrunk ist unbedeutend - verwässert herb. Nicht gut. Test vom 9.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche

500ml can. Light coloured lager, medium body, some maltiness and bitterness. Very middle of the road, so it was decent.

Bottle. From someone’s Midsummer stash. Pale yellow, small white head. Sweet malt, some bread, some grass, medium bitter. Not that bad.
