maekchu (1093) - Hirakata, JAPAN - MAY 3, 2013
Can from Marui department store in Kyoto. Grass, biscuity, sour, and some pissiness. Bright and light plae straw, fine thin head. Light malty sweetness, slightly harsh bitterness in mid palate, also a touch of wet paper. Thin body. Pleasant enough, though the bitterness seems a bit crude and gets in the way of the good malty flavor.

50 cl. dåse. 5 %. Gullig øl med hvidt skum. Smager meget ala en almindelig Carlsberg hof

11/IV/13 - on tap @ REAL bowling (St. Martens-Latem, BE) - BB: n/a (2013-322)

Clear blond beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: grains, sweet malts, sugary. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: pretty bitter start, some grains, little sweet. Aftertaste: nice bitter ending, very hoppy, bit grassy. Definitely not the worst lager.

Westkyoto77 (136) - Kyoto, JAPAN - APR 12, 2013
Can. High carbonation. Aroma of grain, resin, some hops. Quite a bitter finish, but refreshing enough. Half-decent pils.

JorgeLee (736) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2013
On tap at my wedding, sourced by PSingh from Palais des Bieres, Geneva. A fairly bog standard pils, light golden in colour, quite lively carbonation, not overly developed hop character so more basic lager rather than a Czech or German pils. A lttle grainy. Not the worst comercial lager but not great.

barakihunter (186) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - DEC 14, 2012
Aroma is metal and malt. Appearance has nice head, but boring clear straw colour underneath. Taste is slightly metallic, touch malty. Palate is boring, just bitter. Overall, just like any other commercial pils. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sigmund (4222) - Tau, NORWAY - DEC 10, 2012
500 ml can, bought in Denmark. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma with grassy and fruity notes. The flavour is medium sweet with some pilsener malts, grassy notes again, tolerable hoppy bitterness in the finish.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2012 @Antwerpen
Aroma geuren van mout vooral, hop heel klein vleugje citrus zoals fruit.
Smaak bitterheid en hoparoma, lichtzoet, waterig
Afdronk redelijk droog,

redelijk maar niet bijzonder
