Ungstrup (23975) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 2, 2004
A yellow beer with a fine dense head. The aroma is slight, but sweet and malty. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grain and straws. A plain pilsener - OK but nothing special.

TBone (9414) - Pori, FINLAND - MAR 12, 2004
UPDATED: MAY 24, 2005 Can
Typical lager color, small white head. Malt, bread aroma. Also taste is strong malty and brown bread. Roasted after taste. Not bad for "ordinary lager". (5/2/7/3/12 2.9)
Re-rated, can, alc. 4.5 % (BBE 01/2006)
Yellow, white head, lace. Aroma is malty and has some interesting fruity and hoppy notes. Medium-bodied but lacks flavors. Fruity and hoppy finish but not enough to qualify this to being "pilsener". Watered version of Laitilan Kukko. (5/2/4/2/9 2.2)

yngwie (9204) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 27, 2007
Can. Dense off-white head on top of an almost golden and clear body. The aroma is quite hop-fruity and almost candy-like. The flavor is hop-fruity as well, in a hoppy way, and has hay and grass. Medium to thin mouthfeel and a grassy bitterness in the finish. A decent lager. (070210)

faroeviking (8805) - HAITI - AUG 28, 2008
Can. Pours a rather thin golden color with a short lasting white head. Aroma of some grassy hops with a mild sweet maltiness. Fair mouthfeel. The flavour has grass and hops with some grains and little malt. Boring.
