Simply one of the most disgusting beers in the market. Water with some gas and alcohol.

AtronSeige (64) - Johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA - MAY 23, 2013
Aroma: Grainy, grassy, light spice. light sulfur. some corn. Appearance: Clear golden, fairly active bubbles. Soft frothy head. Some lacing. Taste: Medium bitterness, medium-low malt. Crisp. Medium dryness. Lingers. Palate: Slick, effervescent, medium-light bodied. Overall: It is a good beer if you get it fresh or from a place where they took care of the bottles. Most people complain about the skunking but that is due to the beer being placed in direct sunlight. I will happily drink this in large quantities. A good session beer. 473ml Metal Bottle, poured.

When I first had this beer I thought it was very good after trying others my palate has changed... I am not so impressed anymore.

Pours a golden yellow with a white head. A little sweet, a bit skunky. Typical pale lager. Nothing special here. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

TarcisioVasco (108) - Ribeirão Preto (SP)., BRAZIL - MAY 15, 2013
Cerveja mundialmente padronizada, a gente nunca erra quando pede uma, sempre saborosa para o estilo, amargor presente e agradável, leve e refescante, cerveja pra toda hora, daquelas que deveríamos lotar a geladeira para consumo diário.

It is golden in color with moderate carbonation and a good, thick head. This beer has a hoppy aroma. Crisp taste.

It’s a really nice fresh beer for the summer. Maybe not the best quality for the real beer lovers, but I like it!

Mr_Vogel (55) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 7, 2013
There it is, my nemesis. I grew up with this. Much attention put in the aesthetics of the beer; immaculate clarity, perfect golden and a snow-white head. Taste and aroma not so much. Some malts, some bitter. No hops definable. Export bottles have been the skunk-sensitive green bottles for years, but atleast in the Netherlands we were treated with brown bottles up untill a month or so ago. New green ’Star’ bottle is a skunk bottle as well. If properly chilled, it can be very refreshing and drinkable yet only if the bottle hasn’t gone bad. Avoid cans at all cost

From bottle. Pours clear with small head. Aroma is slight sweet, malt and typical pilsner. Taste follows.
