Henti (86) - HUNGARY - JAN 13, 2012
Bottle and can. Typical lager, nothing better than the average - it was a lot better 10 years ago.

Pours golden with lots of white fluffy head. Wouldn’t have to purchase again - not a lot of flavor here.

crossovert (2523) - Wisconsin, USA - DEC 18, 2011
Grainy, husky, an industrial german lager. It is in the can so at least it isn’t green bottle skunked.

swooper (1088) - Cambridge and Kladno(Czech Rep.), Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - DEC 3, 2011
can in UK, malt aroma, light hoppy aroma, clear, white foam, yellow liquid, light sweetness, medium bitterness, a bit sharp in the end, medium body, average carbonation, bitter, average lager, better than UKs

gramity (508) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 25, 2011
Pale golden body, head disappears fast. Taste has grains and leans on the sour side. I don’t particularly like this kind of sourness in lagers. No hops.

d07c0m (86) - Ontario, CANADA - NOV 14, 2011
Crisp, clean, cold. Better than your average German macro lager but still uninteresting on the whole. Refreshing but unrefined.

Cunningham (1748) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 24, 2011
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 can - golden body with a white head - a ordinary lager, but absolutely ok - medium malty and hoppy flavour and aroma

suurjuust (241) - Tartu, ESTONIA - SEP 30, 2011
This is the 4,5% version from Estonia. Clear pale yellow, big white frothy head that quickly disappears. Some malt, mild sourness that transforms into a watery taste. No hops to speak of. Not that good a beer.
