500ml can (Snow@ChrisO)
I’m denying any knowledge of this shit. Anna had it, not me. You didn’t see me drink any of it, so you can’t prove anything. Anna liked it. I thought it tasted of nothing - which proves that I couldn’t have had anything in my mouth!

DonMagi (5598) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 16, 2005
i got this from my work as it had been opened an hour before and was never going to sell. Though i dont think this did very much to the taste. And this is holsten pils at 5.2% out a bottle also, though these bottles used to be 5.5%.

downender (5275) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - FEB 23, 2008
330ml bottle. A standard Euro lager. Looks pleasant enough, but the sweet malt aroma and flavour and slightly dry finish hold few surprises. Dull.

SudsMcDuff (4925) - .....Manchester United.........., Texas, USA - JUN 4, 2013
pours a light gold .. . mild lacing .. . medium head .. . thin mouth .. . cheap feel, mostly hay .. . a lower tier lager .. . . 75% of children under 5 have used crayon. sad indeed.
