Standard cheap europils. Cardboard, hay, some malt and some metal. Flavour is the same. Big Meh.

At first it seemed crisp and well balanced. After multiple mouthfuls it became apparent that this beer is watery, boozy for the abv, boring, and a bit too malty in a Colt 45 way.

Bottle. Straw coloured beer with a steady white fluff on top. Fresh aroma of mostly malts, but a slight banana hint. In the mouth, very fresh and light with a slight malt and some light grassy tastes. Finish is barely existent though. Clean lager, but nothing to it.

50 cl can.
Pours clear golden color with medium white head. Aroma of grass, grain, some honey notes, clove and some corn. Flavor of grain, distant butter, hints of honey and some goose berries. Dull.

Dumpy brown 25cl bottle with an ABV of 4.8%, best before 08/2010, drank 12/2009. Poured into my La Chouffe tulip shaped glass. Golden bright, clear body and a good looking white head. Lets call the colour ’mid-lager’ in depth and style. Classic lager/pilsner aroma of ’not much at all’. I wasn’t expecting too much from this cheap supermarket lager, but to be fair it has a little taste and a hint of flavours. Mid range in the sweet v dry stakes it is refreshing, clean and more robust than I thought it would be. The words boring and bland came to mind, but it it is better than that, only just, but I’m going to call it an average lager/pilsner considering all things.

Clear bright yellow, wispy foamy white head fades quickly. Grainy lager malt aroma. Sweet fruity malt taste. Low hopped, lively carbonation. Finishes dry and lightly bitter. Nice Euro lager. (Lagerboy Friendly)

Poured a light golden colour. Almost no head. Very light taste and finishes off with nasty corn. Not worth it.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2012 resin, caramel, bubblegum, pale, cloudy, minimal head, white foam, light sweetness, medium bitterness, lightly sour, thin feel, light body,

Can. Pours a yellow body, with a low white that quickly disappears, leaving a fair lacing. Nice grainy aroma, with pretty much the same taste. Thin bodied, medium carbonation, watery texture. Another standard lager, that’s surprisingly cheap for what it is. Decent.

pours very clear yellow with a small white cap, some retention. grainy, some sweet malts, light herbal. easy to link this one to grolsch beer. average carbonation, decent body, no finish.
