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

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

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.)
