2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: NOV 14, 2006 Used to be a favorite but my tastes must have evolved over the years. Aroma is of unripe fruit (macintosh apple, maybe pear). Pours a light amber hue with quickly dissipating head. Taste of light malted barley, corn and strong hops yet very smooth in character. Excellent beer to accompany any meal.

Poors a light yellow with a white head. Very thin tasting, not much charecter.

A fairly nice aroma of light floral and unfortunate corn. Or so it seems. Very pale gold color with reasonable white head. Starts with corny sweetness, and that’s about it. There’s some hop (very little), and it’s actually much much more pleasant than the popular American lagers. The finish seems sweetish.

UPDATED: OCT 5, 2007 My friends love this stuff. Skunk smell, skunk flavor, skunk finish. Totally one dimensional, but somehow better than heineken and the american standards. More balanced than those with some grassy hops and better mouthfeel. But it still basically smells and tastes like a dead skunk on the highway. Cheap and easy to pound while playing videogames with your friends, too!

(can) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy, slowly lacing foamy white head. Dusty, sweet malty, slightly corny and flowery malty aroma. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Malty, grainy taste; sweetbitter minimal hoppy finish with an artificial touch in the aftertaste. Still drinkable.

Hand this to me blindfolded and ask me where it’s from I’d say Germany. Hoppy blast with a refreshingly watery finish. Eurolager from the Maritimes? I’ll drink it when it’s available.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear Golden color, fizzy white head. Corn and slight malt aroma. Flavor is grain, and sweet malt with a slight acidity that I’d attribute more to alcohol than hops. Decent enough (if rather boring) for what it is but not worth going out of your way for.

This might have been the first beer I ever drank (sipped actually). I remember the skunkiness and the malt. I tried it again recently, and was nicely impressed. Damn green bottles need replacement but this was a pretty mellow brew. There is actually a little spice, citrus in there somewhere.
