Standard yellow colored with vanishing head. Aroma is weird with some spiciness in it, also some dry papery tone is present. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is similar with interesting Belgian spiciness in it, otherwise dull flavored with thin lemon.

(bottle - 330 ml) Clear yellow with a fizzy and soapy white head. Aroma is lightly skunked with some faint sweetness in the aroma. Stale hops as well. Flavor is dry and grainy at the beginning with some stale hops and a very light malt note. Crisp finish.

Bottle. Faint yellow colored body. White head clings around the edges of the liquid. The stench of recently dead skunk greets my nose, making me fear the upcoming sip. Sweet, honey malt taste with lots of metallic overtones and a hint of skunk.

Bottle shared with DuffmanSW. Pours a crystal clear yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is grassy with a hint of citrus, skunky and metallic. Flavor is bread and rice, slightly tart. Pretty watery, not much there at all. Palate is thin and it’s fizzy and overcarbonated. This beer is not very good.

Another from Mspindler.. Pours a clear yellow with a fluffy white head.. Smells grassy like a heineken.. Bready tasting.. I told Mike it left an after taste like I just had some shrimp fried rice.. Might switch to this when I go get some sushi.

Bleh. Fizzy but no head. Cardboard flavors. I like an occasional light lager in this style, but not this one.
