light malty,pale, clear, minimal head, light sweetness, lightly bitter, salty, light body, thin feel, flat,

50 cl can. Pours light golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Grainy, lightly sweet aroma. The flavor has an adjuncty like sweetness. Not that good.

33 cl bottle. Green bottle = much skunk upon opening. That clears off once I pour, but leaves a slightly chemical smell. Looks nice and clean, gold color, big spongy head. Taste has some grainy malts to it. The touch of wheat seems to be at work here, but so is the corn. Some European hops at work, but not enough to make this distinguished. Thin watery palate. Unpleasant finish.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2010 Drinkable, with more flavor than a typical pale lager. Still, there’s no breaking free of low ratings in this style, theyre all just mediocre

On draught in the pub, this beer has a meaty taste with a fizzy texture, golden coloured lagered, not totally yellow with some chemicals flavours and hints of old Bananas. Too much chemical and nasty on the palate.

Bottle. Poured clear golden color, thin white head. Vague malty aroma. Flavour is weak hoppy and lemon. Clean but very watery. Easy to drink.

330mL Bottle -- Pours a brassy gold with a thin ring of white foam. Malty nose with aromas of wheat, straw, honey, and yeast. Some skunk. Dry with a decent hoppy back-end.

Bottle 75cl. A yellow beer very clear with medium white head. Smell is on hops and lager yeast. Aroma is very classic for a lager, just a bit more hops but very watery. Better than the classic Kronenbourg, again a boring lager.
