Pours with no head, no carbonation, no soul - oh boy, another mass-produced pale lager. Aroma is that of dirty armpit, a burning dumpster mix of rotting cardboard and the stench of a thousand vomiting teenagers. Taste is some vague concoctional mess of hops and recycled particle board that has absolutely no character or flavour. Dry finish, however. Why is it that every country must produce one awful lager to represent themself around the world? Surely there is another way to promote their beers, as I am certain that this is the worst beer produced in Switzerland, hands down.

Skunky as all hell, but as usual I like this green bottle contamination and i this one it’’s pretty strong - so be ware if don’t like that style. So much for Switzerland. Bottle from saq.

Bottle 500ml.

Originally rated August 2004. My first Switzerland brew. This one poured a clean golden colour with a nice bubbly white head. I could smell aromas of honey and malt, very little though. Taste is very light, with a slight bitter-sweet finish. Comes in a green bottle. Not much to it.

Acheté à la SAQ Rouyn-Noranda. Je n’ai qu’une chose à dire de cette bière. Yark. Carrement horrible.
