Russo (1244) - Campinas, - SEP 22, 2012
Bottled. Pale yellow color with a small head and almost no lacing. Foam starts nice but diminished quickly. Aroma is weak, some hints of malt and cereals. Flavor is malty hints of corn. Mouthfeel is refreshing and short. No big deal.

EtTuCthulhu (398) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAY 19, 2013
The aroma of is overwhelmingly of sour dough yeast, and the appearance combines a light straw yellow with a large white head that fades quickly. Also, the taste is quite sour and a touch sweet, and the palate combines an average carbonation with a bit, a light body, a thin slick texture, and an abrupt finish.

DiarmaidBHK (2278) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle from growler and gill. Pours golden with an inch of white foam that leaves some lacing. Lots of effervescence and carbonation with this one. A bit skunky on the nose. Taste is bland and inoffensive. Finishes clean. Eh! I’ve had worse.

KansaiBeerLvrs (233) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle at 7 Bar in Seoul. It poured your basic boring clear gold. It has a skunky grass aroma with a rough grassy hay flavor. It was kind of sour, worse than Cass. Not pleasant.

Abijen (214) - NETHERLANDS - APR 22, 2013
Oke. It looks really watery. Golden with almost no head. The smell is a standard pilsner smell. The taste is boring and sweet. Very thin and watery.

Pours to a pee-yellow. Head is a lot bigger than I expected - I will give it that. Lacing there, but more sporadic, and it dies a swift death. Smells like dirty grains and maybe a hint of grass or hay or yeast. Taste is...searching around. Searching....hmm. Water. And...wait. I think I finally tasted something else. Maybe a bit of earth. But it fades so fast that I can hardly tell. Did I just drink Bud Light? Dayum. It’s stuff like this that makes craft fans biased against nearly all pale lagers.

Bottle. Thanks to adnielsen for buying this beer for me at Wine & Cheese in St. Louis!! Pours a golden yellow color with white head. Light, barn/hay aromas. Malty, straw, light lager flavor. Your typical asian lager.

jmgreenuk (1288) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - FEB 18, 2013
Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear straw yellow with a thin broken white head. The aroma and indeed much of the flavour is very malty. The palate is weak and watery. It’s drinkable, but no classic.
