Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2012 Can with a WIDGET. Sweet cherry malt aroma. Dark golden color with giant head and lots of bubbles - does look very nice. Slightly sweet cherry malt and light hops finish. Regular bottle more bland - standard lager.

06-OCT-2009, can in Paris. Golden with nice white head. Nose is beer! Well, I do not know how to describe it better. I cannot tell this appart from a Carlsberg or a Heineken. Medium carbonaiton, ordinary taste, some sweetness. Trivial.

Bottle, 25 cl. Looks ans drinks like a pilsner, but tastes more sweet, hoppy, dry, little aftertaste. It’s not a beer I’d like to drink more than one. Nothing special

Something about this is ever so slightly less offensive than normal crappy imported pale lager. There is no reason this should have left France. If you are a Pale Lager snob, and you know you are out there, this one might be awesome for you, however, everything that is wrong with pale lagers shipped thousands of miles is what dominates this.

Bottle, 25cl. Pours a golden beer with a white head. The aroma is weak with notes of hops and flowers. The flavor is hops at first and later malt. The palate is weak with malt. Overall a good lawnmoverbeer.

Bottle 330ml. Crystal clear pale gold, thin creamy head. Aroma has grass, hops, citrus in it. Flavor is full of crisp touch (hops, pepper) and it’s supported by strong/medium carbonation. Refreshing pale lager.

Tap. Just another boring pale lager. Aroma is floral and citrusy, not so bad. Flavour is just sweet and light. Dry in the palate, with a thin body. Yellow colour with a white lasting head.

Bottle on the beach in Djibouti, Horn of Africa. Golden color, medium white head disappears quickly. On the malty side, bitter edge. Not much of a finish. Average lager that does not stand out at all.
