"Mines a Kronenbourg, mate" - The Streets. Terribly lightstruck skunk-o-rama. Drainpour by everyone. Putrid and harsh. Damned be the 1664.

skunky smelling, and not very good. kind of sweet, i dont know what to say really. taste like sweet heineken. bleh

Green bottle. Not a good idea. Pours a nice golden yellow color with a pretty large white fizzy head. I was impressed by the appearence. Nose is skunky, dms, diacetyl, and corn. Taste is wheat corn, adjuncts, etc. Its a pale lager in a green freaking bottle what do you expect?

Bottle from a Beers of the World boxed assortment. Poured golden and clear with fizzy carbonation and a foamy white head. Pretty typical lager aroma, sweet malts, adjuncts and hops. Pretty poor flavor, a little sour and skunky. Light body and highly carbonated.

Hmmm... I’m glad I waited to pick this up for $3.99 a sixer. While it doesn’t punish with oxidized hops, the flavors are damp and dim. Slightly drying finish.

UPDATED: APR 5, 2008 I loved the skunky aroma from this beer. The head was awesome and it was easy drinking. This pale lager that is a cut above the rest. I will buy this again.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2010 Bottle at home. Clear golden pour, thin white head. Aroma is skunked, malty and faintly hopped. Flavor is slightly skunked, quite grainy, somewhat hopped and quite refreshing. Simple ok lager. Update 21/9/10: Straight from the can. Ugly stuff, but after a day of driving on the route du soleil this is gone in seconds. Too malty, cheap and way too sweet, but hey, at least it has some flavor.
