Had this beer on 6/22/2000. Aroma is a bit skunky. Color bright gold, with good carbonation and ok head. Taste is sweet and lightly skunky. Starting with a light body goes down with a skunky like taste. Finish is starts a bit sweet then goes to a skunky with a slight bitter end. Just another bad green bottled beer.

500ml can. Pours a pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet malt, mineral notes, faint straw, and a faint fruity note. As for taste, woody/dusty malt notes, metallic, with a mineral finish. Not bad, just not exciting in any way.

From bottle (6/3/11). Light noble hop aroma, beany. Crisp, sweet with pilsner malt and light skunky hops, carbonic gaseousness. Medium golden clear, light haze, with thin white foamy lacing head. Medium body with high carbonation. Starts medium dry with pils sweetness, carbonic acidity. Not a crisp as a pilsner. Finishes clean with dry bitterness. A bit watery at the end, clean after.

0.33 l bottle. Pale golden colour, clear liquid, almost no head. Malt, bread, hop, baked eggs. Medium body, medium bitter aftertaste.

poured very pale with a light head smelled skunky hops and malts. tasted very light with a nice bready finish. decent

0,5l can. Soggy yellow color. Almost no head, froth is chunky. Nothing to say about aroma and body. Tasteless.

Cannette 500 ml. 5.2%. Couleur jaune paille, mousse blanche. Arôme de maïs, céréale. En bouche, douce, un peu d’herbes et malt. Descend très bien.

Originally rated May 2005. This one has corn written all over it ! It pours a golden colour with light carbonation. The white head is pretty big and has decent retention, leaving good lace. Then the corn arrives.... in the aroma. In the taste. Smooth finish. Rather have a Miller High Life then this one (for a corn brew).

can. Light yellow pour, bubbly and little head. Aroma was sour apples, almost like a cider. Taste was a little better, mostly grassy malts, but still an unpleasant apple juice taste as well. Not very good.

I had this one a long time ago. I’ll update this rating if I have the chance to taste it again

This was less foul and skunky than I expected from a green bottle brew of European origin but is still pretty underwhelming overall. Clear and headless yellow, its appearance is about as bland as its mildly bready aroma. I will say though that this does have a nice lemony hoppy zip to it and a bit of spunky carbonation to keep it drinkable which keeps this from being totally useless.
