Marduk (358) - ESTONIA - APR 26, 2012
0,5l can. Label says brewed by Saku, Estonia. 4,5% abv, Golden yellow color. Head disappears instantly, flat. Citrus, sour aroma, (wheat?). Sour watery texture.

suprchunk (1057) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - APR 13, 2012
Clear golden colored pour. Big puffy white head with big lacing. Kind of a mediocre aroma of hops and malt. But really faint on all accounts. Taste is sweet with a hint of butter. Bitter. Clean, somewhat. Not bad. Not good.

Metalchopz (1427) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 4, 2012
Originally rated February 2005. This pilsner style premium lager poured a golden-yellow colour with a smooth white head. Good lacing was left in a foamy matter. Carbonation was also good. I could smell some malt, but no more. Hop seemed to come out as the beer warmed up. Taste started bitter but had a quick crisp finish, with hints of grass. Thin mouthfeel and some metallic feel. Nothing special here, but an o.k. thirst quencher.

EverymanReview (4) - CANADA - MAR 18, 2012 does not count
This 5% beer from Hamburg is confusing. Confusing because I don’t know what it is. Sure, you could drink it all night without bother. You can do this because you might as well be drinking water. While its taste is prevalent on first sip, it literally disappears before it’s down your throat. It’s flat and boring – like Kate Hudson in Fool’s Gold.

Henti (129) - HUNGARY - JAN 13, 2012
UPDATED: APR 29, 2012 Bottle. Light golden colour with white medium head. Sweet malty nose. Light malty, sweet taste, almost zero bitterness. A light one, easy drinkable, affordable and very refreshing.

cards04 (295) - Steinbach, Manitoba, CANADA - JAN 13, 2012
Pours golden with lots of white fluffy head. Wouldn’t have to purchase again - not a lot of flavor here.

crossovert (2761) - 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.

gramity (593) - 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.
