(375 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/scarborough/oak-hill-beverage-and-redemption-center/3575.htm target=blank>Oak Hill Beverage) Not bad...Pours clear light yellow with a very tall somewhat foamy white head. Lightly malty (honeyish but not quite) and hoppy (slightly piney) aroma. Mouthfeel quite full, pretty smooth, not bad. Flavor is lightly sweet and malty (like aroma it is honeyish but not quite) with a medium bitterness overlaying with provides a nice little bite in the finish. Litle bit of an alcohol burn in the finish. Kind of like a heller bock. Nothing really remarkable but not much to complain about except slightly lacking in flavor.

750 ml bottle. Pours a pale golden colour, with a medium white head. Good malty aroma, with hint of citrus. The taste is malt, with a more than a hint of alcohol., with a ling dry finish.

Deep gold with nice white head, intense carbonation, aroma of banana and peach some baking aromas as well, alcohol burst with some apple pie and bitter sweet finish, body is medium. Nice strong lager, anyway it is not my style.

Bottle, 75cl corked. Shared by Tarjei. It pours a pale golden body, slightly hazy, and topped by a dense, white head. Some DMS in the aroma is soon overpowered by the sweetness, hops and some alcohol. A little sulphury touch in the background. The flavor is quite sweet, with nice hops, pale malts, fruits and a decent bitterness. Warming, well carbonated mouthfeel. The finish goes on for a while, with a decent bitterness. A beer that might deserve a higher rating. (090508)

Bottled 0,75 l (Alko Arkadia). Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of pear and leather. Quite light palate. Fizzy, Champagne-like carbonation. Pear, cardboard, corn in the flavor. Suprisingly watery for being 8%. Lame ESL, don’t give fancy bottle to fool you.

750 ml bottle, which is the only thing it comes in. Pours golden with a large white head. Sweet and Malty with a slight herbyness to it. One of the more remarkable asian beers. Pleasant but nothing special. Best enjoyed with a hot curry.

750 ml bottle. Pale golden color, frothy white head. Malty aroma. Malty flavor with alcohol and some spiciness. Medium-full body, medium carbonation. Basically just a beefed up pale lager. Bleh.
