Had this up in canada as well. Tasted very nice on draft. Very dark, but still very tasty

Though the real desafinado avoids premium-beers, this one is a good choice. Looks unobstrusive but has nice hops and definitely tastes northern German. BTW: as far as I know, the pils and the premium are the same and have more than 3%.

UPDATED: OCT 27, 2010 Bière premium lager allemende de Hamburg, 5% d’alcool, mousseuse et très pétillante, rafraîchissante, moins houblonné que la bittburger ou la Vicroty Lager, pa beaucop de saveur, très douce.

I was really surprised by this one. I found it really enjoyable. Poured a nice golden color. Good sustained head. Very nice hop character and a "full" palate.

Quite a good german lager, what your average aussie lager should inspire to be. Good strong flavour yet still easy drinking.
