Canned(500ml). -Pale yellow coloured, medium sized chemical white head, dusty nose. Malty and faint hoppy aroma with grainy and metallic notes. Watery palate, but drinkable. Some rice notes in the aftertaste.

Slightly metallic and vague malt aroma. Very short and a bit metallic malt flavor. Watery and boring beer, but not disgusting!

Can. Very watery, slightly grainy and a bit sweet. No bitterness at all. Flavor is almost completely absent.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2012 Can from EuroCash at Svinesund. Light yellow colour with a small white head. Both flavour and aroma are liiiiiight, almost nothing.

Can, from Rhythm & Booze, Cleethorpes. Gold, thin shortlived white head and low condition. Low malt and slight peppery hoppiness in the nose, thin and fruitily metallic in the mouth, brief sweetness in the finish.

1/5 in darkness. Smells slightly malty. Malty taste and very watery. No real finish.

0.5l can. Pours a crystal clear pale golden body with a small lacing white lager-head. Aroma is light malty and normal lager-ish. Not very nice, and quite subtle. Lively carbonation, really thin and light-bodied and has a watery mouthfeeling. Tastes really watery and thin. Almost like they have taken a normal lager and thinned it out by pouring in a glass of water. It’s kinda sweet and there’s no bitterness at all.

Been travelling the world looking for this one, so I was glad to have finally tracked it down. Somewhat fluorescent yellow. Looks a little bit flat. Smells bland, maybe a little bit metallic. Kind of a chlorine taste, bland. Not as thin as one might expect but yeah, it’s crap.

Light yellow, hazy body. White head. Malt sweetness, yeasty, none hops aroma. Boring.

Penso che sia in assoluto una delle cose peggiori che mi è capitato di bere e più in generale di assaggiare nella vita...

Tall can from a Paphos area supermarket, probably Philippos in Pegia. Fluorescent gold, slimy head. One of the smelliest, most foul aroma in beerdom. And the nose knows. So vile, I shouldn’t have even put this in my mouth. There is no excuse for the fact that it tastes like a malt liquor and yet it’s a 3.5%.Something this thin and light should be relatively innocuous. Instead, it’s a pile full of putrid piss, melted plastic and sour rotting meat. The aftertastes are putrid. Down the drain and rinse the mouth.
