Bottle. No stand out aroma. Appearance is a typical premium lager appeal. Flavor is crisp with a sweet hoppy taste to it and mild bitters. Goes down smooth and can make you wish for another one.

Clear fizzy yellow color with a medium creamy white head. Sweet grainy aroma and a stale grain and corn flavor

Very clear, golden-yellow body with some bubbles rising from bottom of glass to surface. Head is thick, white, largely-bubbled, and quick to dissipate. Aroma is fresh grass, lager yeast and slight banana ester; soft, but luckily nothing offensive. Taste is full and strong, carbonated, yet thin bodied on the tongue. Tastes of fruit, malt, yeast, pepper, and a bit of hops. All in all, this is a fine example of a lager, but as its German, its not so suprising. For a macro-brew, this kicks ass. Sampled from a 350ml can, purchased at "Lider Mart" in Arica, Chile.

Gold in colour with medium to high carbonation. Aromas of light malt, some German noble hop, and a slight touch of sulfur. Pretty much your standard pilsner light malt+hop combo as far as the flavor goes. It could have used a bit more bitterness and hop flavor, and perhaps it lacks a bit of snap on the finish. Overall this is an inoffensive, but well made German lager.

Pours clear golden, with a small white head. Aroma was grainy and a little sour, no hops at all. There is nothing standout about the beer, the palate is dominated by sweeter malts and the finish has some light grassy hops and a slight bitterness. Enjoyable to drink, but nothing fantastic.

Bright yellow gold hue, with an off-white head, toasted pale malt nose, with a hint of straw accent in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp grainy sweet pale malt, bready note, leading towards a soft lingering bitter hops finish.

A pretty decent lager. Nothing really grabbed me about it, but nothing really detracted from it either. Preferable to their hefeweissbier, IMO.
