UPDATED: JUL 29, 2011 So light & airy, you would swear it’s going to float off into the stratosphere. If you pour a glass of water, and a glass of this--and were blindfolded---there is NO WAY you could tell them apart. Has as much carbonation as flat tap water. The only "Beer" I have ever had that has less taste is Coors Light. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. If you have the hankering for overpriced water in a bottle, I suppose you could do worse...but why? No sir, stick with Blatz, and you’ll be screaming long into the night: "Ich habe einen großen SCHWANZ!"

Pours a clear and pale yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, fruit and DMS. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall a clean but boring beer.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pale straw, thin head, no lace. Aroma of wet grain, cereal, corn. Flavor is not much better. Mostly cereal and creamed corn. Slight metallic finish.

Bottle. A clear, almost golden beer with a small, white head. The aroma is weak, with some malts and fruityness. The flavor too is on the weak side, a touch of malts and a hint of yellow apples, that’s almost it. Not much bitterness detected. Thin body, decent carbonation. A beer that drinks very easily, just like water, but it’s far from impressing in any way. 110330

Bottle 33cl, a clear pale yellow beer with medium head but thin structure. Nose is on dry malt body. Aroma is on papery malt, dry, with some acid notes, finish is non-existant, very watery body, even no hops is there. What more to say, even not worth a try.

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, June 2011. Pours clear golden with a off white head. Served ice cold. Hay, grain and fruit. Dry and grainy flavor. Pretty clean. Thin palate.

12oz bottle, couldn’t make out the bottling date, but looked like 3xx 2010, so probably 6 months or so old. Served chilled.

Pours clear pale yellow with a less than one finger white head that quickly fizzles down to a small cap but leaves some nice webs of lacing behind.

Aroma is grassy hops and cracker malt, grains, mild strength.

Flavor is sweet grains and doughy malt, some grassy notes. Starts sweet moving to mild bitterness and gets watery on the finish.

Mouthfeel is light, medium/high carbonation.

OK Pale Lager, but at around $10 a sixer, it’s just not worth the premium. I get more flavor out of PBR for a helluva lot less money. Score reflects the poor value.

Bottle. Pale golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, frui, hay. Flavour is malt, fruit, hay. Thin and boring beer.
