From a can and to be fair my expectations aren’t sky high. Yellow-gold with a fulsome white head. Very light malt aromas and a slight metallic tinge to the aromas. Cool and quenching with little in the way of overt flavours beyond a light maltiness that leaves you wondering, well, why? Nothing wrong with it I suppose, but not a hell of a lot to write home about.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 can - golden body with a white head - a ordinary pils, but absolutely ok - medium malty and hoppy flavour and aroma

A - Light sweet grassiness A - Straw colored with lasting white head T - Light sweetness, where’s the bitter? P - Thin with medium carbonation O - Ehhh...

500ml Bottle. Appearance is pale yellow color with medium, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is mild and simple sweet and malty. Taste is same sweet malts, somewhat skunky, with a very mild grassy hop flavor. Palate is light-bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a soft, sweet finish.

Light golden coloured and clear. Has a white head, lasting and lacing. Aroma of cheap malts and sugars. Flavor starts light sweet and finish moderate bitter. Dry texture.

bread, yellow,clear, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, fizzy,

Draft, 50 cl. Clear golden coloured beer with nice white head. Nice aroma of hops, grains and some fruitiness. Taste of hops, grains and bad tasting malts, a bit metallic and industrial. Light bitter finish. Disappointing taste, not in accordance with the nice aroma.

0.5l can. Pours a crystal clear golden body with a medium fading white head. Aroma is really grainy and metallic, malty and lots of dusty hops. Sour, metallic and grainy taste. No way and no thanks.
