Update.
Sparkling gold appearance with a sprinkling of white foam. Soft nose comprised of white bread, honey and maize; dusty hops. Basic bread and honey sweetness throughout with pears chiming in before a papery finish. Heavier than the colour belies; soapy texture, bubbles included.
Light as expected; simple and tarnished as an unnecessary side-effect.
50 cl can, best before 29.11.2008. Tasted blind in a class III showdown, 7th place (of 8).
Update.
Clear gold hue and a quickly evaporating white head. Mild perfume and honey; barely detectable crackers. Faintly sweet, then watermelon acidity. Finishes softly without much bitterness. Light, slick, with little carbonation.
Very neutral experience, little good or bad.

Original.
50cl can, bbe 26/09/2008. Robust, clear gold hue. Head and lacing are almost nonexistant, fizzy and white for what is there. Strongly sulphorous and grassy along with the scent of salted table crackers. Dusty and perhaps a bit grainy as well. Light strawberries? True to pale/premium lager form, it comes across a bit sweeter than expected; bready with a light acidity and a soft, grassy finish. Medium-light bodied with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation. A damn bit better than McBudBucks though still not wildly impressive. (4, 2, 4, 2, 13 = 2.5)

Jul 22, 2008 Very pale yellow color with quick vanishing but still lacy head. Aroma is sweet malty, a bit fruity and hoppy. Flavor is a bit of grainy malty, slightly fruity, a bit metallic note with slight hoppyness. Also some caramel in finish. Palate is light-bodied but not watery and low carbonated.

Pale gold body. Sweet malty nose, a bit grainy. Honeyish malty taste. Simple, drinkable, ok, nothing special.

Jul 15, 2008 500 Ml can quite normal yellow lager color, really small head that disappeared really fast. Smells of hops and not much else. Taste is suprisingly good compared to looks,
good carbonation and mouthfeel, some fruity characters with bread.
