Hi Little head, clear golden appearance, crisp and easy to drink. No real body slight metallic aroma. I could drink a lot of this on a hot day, but would not rush to buy this again. I have had Monteith’s in New Zealand and I am sure it was better but I guess it could of been another beer.

Botella. Clear golden with good medium steady creamish white head, good lacing. Mild malty aroma with grains. Fair mouthfeel. The flavour is grainy with a pleasant mild bitterness. Slightly sweet grainy dry finish.

I have to say that this is a bit of a nothing beer, brewed to tackle market share of Steinlager Pure than to be a beer that people would want to drink. It has a light hoppy character and little else. Disappointing.

Appearance: Orangy golden brown. Little bit of shortlived fizzy head. Aroma: Fruit and malt, quite nice. Taste: Some malt and hops, quite sweet. Fresh. Info: 330ml bottle, 23/9-2007

Bottled in Germany. Utterly uninteresting, amazing that this is imported inot a country with good beers! Thin, watery, budweissery.

330 ml bottle at a party after all else was finished. Highly carbonated and pale gold, head lost quickly. Nose:Weak sweet malt and no hops. Sickly sweet malt essence flavour with no hop to balance, Cheap DB finish reminds me of caramel and chinese beers. A victory of marketing over brewing, this dilutes a weakening brand further.
