DeanF (1489) - Iqaluit, - AUG 17, 2010
Poor lager colour, weak on the nose, a taste of grains and malt. Not much Belgium in here, and more of a crappy macrobrew. Meh.

thirstyrabbit (540) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAY 14, 2012
Can. Straw yellow, minimal scummy head. Damp malty aroma. Thin palate, taste has a notable cardboardy "hoppiness". Metallic finish. It was cheap but still turned out to be worse than expected.

johndoughty (2946) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 30, 2012
Can. Bronze and left lots of lacing. Gentle sweetness and a reasonable body. Above average for this type of beer but thats not saying a lot.

suurjuust (356) - Tartu, ESTONIA - FEB 5, 2012
Pale gold, white head. Nose is cardboard with grains and rubber. Taste is more grain and papery notes. Finishes with weak grassy hops. Very thin body.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 11, 2011
Can drunk at home. It’s a typical clear gold pilsner colour with lasting white head. Just a little staleish paper in the flavour, but otherwise it’s drinkable enough stuff without being too interesting. Some floating lemon flavour somewhere. A light pale lager.
