Yellow, white head. Maltyish aroma. Quite weak flavor that turns into a strong and bad folköl-bitterness.

This must be the golden mean of how a lager are supposed to taste. Not too bitter, not too foamy, not too sour. Works equally well in Tromso, Norway as in Kinshasa, Congo.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2012 Bottle. Yellow colour with a white head. Both aroma and flavour are medium malt and light hoppy. Not the worst 3,5%

Can. Pale yellow. White foam. Slightly metallic aroma with hints of cereal. Some malt sweetness with a little chemical bitterness in the after taste. Thanks, but no thanks.

Bottle. A clear golden colour with an average high off-white head. An aroma of malt, grass and hops. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A light body, watery texture, soft carbonation and an abrupt finish.

1/10 i mörkhet. Luktar minimalt maltigt. Smakar vattning med en hint av malt. Väldigt lätt eftersmak.

white/yellow color with a white bubbly head. Looks awful. Aroma is not too bad or at least better than expected. Still very generic and sweet. I don´t know what to say about the taste. It tastes more like sparkeling water with a suttle sweet beer flavour, than it tastes like beer.Sense some flavours of corn asweel. Extremely watery and pointless.

Poured from a 330ml can. Yellow-golden with a filmy layer. Spare malty aroma. Little more than sweet flavoured water. Weak notes of malts. No off-taste, though. Thanks to Ingrid for the treat (Bromma, 28.07.2010).

Can, better then the stronger one but not over the average. Fizzy international lager with some hoppy caracter

I really don’t like this beer, colour is pale, aroma is abscent, a no no in my book, appearance is bad

Medium white head. Yellow body. Soapy malty aroma with strawy fruity notes. Dry-sweetish fruity strawy grassy taste with soapy notes. Watery, harsh mouthfeel. Mid-to-thin body. Dry mealy papery aftertaste spoils the initially OK flavour. Not too bad, but not something I’ll buy again. Ɛ.33l can, MaxiMat, Charlottenberg.)
