Bottled. Pale yellow, no head. Drysish and fairly light bodied. Fruity pinepple flavour. Perhaps a light hint of grassy hops, and no trace of adjuncts. Low bitterness. Sort of half decent.

(Bottle) Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma was lightly skunky. Flavor of grassy hops with a bitter finish.

Light gold. Light aroma of straw and acetaldehyde. Light body. Maybe a little syrupy but fairly clean if nothing else.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2007 Can. Very little aroma. Pale golden with white tead. Light beer with a short, un-bitter aftertaste. Like a Danish discount-beer. Thx to KØLF. (050923)

Bottle from a local overstock grocery outlet. ABV at 4.5, but it has the red surround. Pours light gold with a foamy white head. Smells sweet/soapy. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is grain/paper with very little bitter. Nothing obnoxious actually. Just pointless.

Bottle. Poured clear pale color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with a light to medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with a below average beer.

Medium white head. Clear deep golden body with carbonation. Light grainy vegetal aroma. Dry-sweet perfumy grainy taste with sugary notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel with some heat. Dryish perfumy sugary aftertaste with floral notes. It’s not bad, but too sweet. I imagine I can taste the alcohol, too. (0.64l bottle, Taste, Hang Hao, Hong Kong.)

Red label, big bottle. Pale yellow. Bland, innocuous aromas and flavors both. Has a dry finish and nothing too offensive. Finishes clean.

Pours clear golden with a decent off-white head and a cheap lager aroma. There is an almost undetectable malt flavor with a skunky banana taste and little else.

2/7/11. 12oz bottle. Clear, dark golden pour that reminds of apple juice under a small white head that’s gone instantly. Sweet adjunct aroma laced with corn, fusel, and a touch of skunk. Sweet flavor with a surprising dry grainy kick and a spicy hop bite... surprisingly drinkable, but still meh.
