Bottle at home. The colour is golden straw with a light off-white head. Aroma of sweet corn, hay, pale malt. Light flavours of some hay, pale malt, hops and a little dry ending. Watery and light mouth feel, and has a light mouth feel. An okay and very light easy-drinking pale lager.

Clear golden with a small white head - hints of malt and some hop bitterness - thin body, short finish

Canned. Thanx SADESA. Clear golden in colour? Minor white head, lacings. A malty and maize like aroma. The flavour is dry and malty.

Close to golden body with a white head that leaves some lacing. Sweet malty aroma with hoppy citric hints, quite clean. Light to medium sweet, very light bitter and there are some faint bitterness in the aftertaste as well. Some caramel. Light body, watery texture, medium carbonation. Ok pale lager with a decent aroma, but too thin and watery and with no real bitterness.
[50 cl can, stolen from my little brother]

Can that someone left at my house, but you can get it everywhere anyway. Crystal clear golden with loads of bubbles rushing to the big white head that dissipates rather fast into a ring. Aroma is metallic skunky, sweet typical industrial lager malts, some light, faint fruitiness to it and a hint of citrus. Well balanced flavourwise between sweetness and the bitterness that comes in after about half a second. The finish is rather sweet and dull. There is also a hint of citric acidity in the finish, which I suspect comes from the alleged wheat malts. Body is light, sparkly and high carbonation, but all in all quite thin. Absolutely forgettable, but not at all undrinkable.

One of the better lagers. Aroma of citrus, malts and some hops in the finish. If I’m buying a 6-pack for a night out, this is usually my choice.

A more modern beer than the pilsner. Light in colour, and light in taste. Some wheat is added here, and it gives a fruity impression. Deserves more and better hops.

Can 500ml. Pours clear yellow with white head, decent lacing. Aroma is malty, bit of caramel. Taste is sweet with a light bitter ending. Watery with soft carbonation.

Pours pale straw with a white frothy head. Nose of light malts. Aroma of... of... ehm... Nothing really. Some malt detection. But, I would rather drink water to not waste my calorie quota for the day.

Pale yellow with fine white head. Aroma is a bit bitter. Thin sweet taste
