Pours a lacklustre, translucent yellow gold. Carbonation is plentiful but the head is ill to stick around. Light hint of boiled vegies and straw atop some fresh mown grass is the aroma. In the mouth it is dry, thin, gassy and marred by a carbonic acid bite that overtook much of the already subdued flavour. Grainy, straw-like flavours mostly come through, zesty, grassy hop back end with low bitterness to finish. Clean enough, just bland as all buggery. Another Euro-lager gem!

650mL green bottle. Another one of these imported lagers they’re flogging dirt cheap down here at the moment. Clear pale golden beer, head doesn’t hold. Not much on the nose or palate but a bit of cereally malt, skunk and perhaps a tad of floral hop more than other cheapies; not that that’s saying much. I can think alot worse beers at far higher price, but this still isn’t anything special.

What traditional method was this? Flogging a cheap to make beer to the mass aussie market for the summer season? A sudsy/ soapy dishwater of a brew. Cheap and nasty with no carbonation. No doubt some other version of it exists on this site under another name.
