Prokroustis (570) - Thessaloniki, GREECE - FEB 22, 2013
Pale amber body with a big white head. Plain aroma with wheat and caramel. Better than average pale lager flavour with caramel, some lemon and cereal. Not bad.

Beer3000 (3727) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - FEB 18, 2013
500 ml can. Golden body with a big white head. Light caramel aroma with a hint of grass. Flavour is sweet grainy without much more. Thin body, no aftertaste. A very boring pale lager.

tmrmwel (510) - Bergen, NORWAY - JAN 30, 2013
Bottle. Pours light yellow, with a finger thick head. Aroma is very slightly bitter, with some not too nice notes of cardboard and grass. Flavour is sweet with caramel and orange, as well as some spicy hops.

DruncanVeasey (6116) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Premier, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - NOV 6, 2012
Canned, draught, about 50 ribbed plastic cups from a sun lounger on Sandy Bay... Gold, fizzing, foamy. Vomit, corn, sherbet and green herb aroma. Breakfast cereal and corn flavour without bitterness or poisonous off notes. Actually OK; light lemony streaks, clean breadiness. Honest: refreshing, is what it is; a sweet corny lager without pretences or off notes that render it undrinkable.

McTapps (1492) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - AUG 7, 2012
On tap in Cyprus. Light in colour, light foam. Aromas of citrus, quite refreshing. Medium bitterness, tastes like watery tea.

MichaelBruch (1493) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - AUG 7, 2012
On tap in Ayia Napa. Loses the fight to keo clearly. Nit a bad beer. Some nice hops in it but a bit watery and strange aroma of pepper or something. Decentand drinkable. Again - no rocket science.

visionthing (1658) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 19, 2012
50cl can. Pours clear pale golden with a disappearing white head. Lightly malty and fruity aroma with hint of cooked vegetables and hops. Lightly sweet and malty with a hint of hoppy bitterness.Not the worst pale lager. More bitterness than expected and quite drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Thanks zvikar. Clear pale golden with a minimal white head. Cooked veggies and corn aroma, bland, buttery taste. Lively carbonation, oily texture, short finish. Ugh.
