pootzboy (1029), Hawgville, Ontario, Canada Oct 31, 2009 Pours a pale gold( paler than I recall) with a quickly dissipating 1 finger cap.
Nose is very faint; floral tones over cooked cereal notes,,very faint.
Frontside is weak on malts there is a definate hop ambience to it but it seems unnatural extract hoppiness. A peppery sharp mouth feel from the high carbonation. Fast clean crisp finish goes dry.
Thin, hoppy, dry...what little cereal substance and body there is to it may be from the gristed corn.
I can’t tell if SABMiller has thinned this down but I see they are positioning this beer as a fashion accessory (like Stella Atois) To the upscale Euro market...good luck.
Nisse666 (280), Göteborg, Sweden Oct 29, 2009 Bottle 500 ml, 2006-07-23, watery flavor.
Nice to have it with spicey food (or to play with a shaichaess TeamTrappist (362), jericho, New York, USA Oct 28, 2009 Bottle. Light grassynose on a piss yellow clear pour. It’s like a beer soda that actually isn’t Terrible with some decent carbonation. More soda than beer. twindog (69), Hampstead, Maryland, USA Oct 21, 2009 This beer really does not have any flavor to it. Its ok to drink if thats all is left fot ya . blackbock (34), Australia Oct 17, 2009 (bottle) I honestly can’t remember anything about this beer except that it had no outstanding feature or flavour :-
A typical megalager, definitely not horrible but don’t expect a memorable beer. mcberko (118), British Columbia, Canada Oct 14, 2009 Sampled at the 2009 Canada’s Cup of Beer at UBC. Light yellow pour, yeast and bread flavour with a dry finish. Mass produced generic lager from Italy. rader58 (164), Leawood, Kansas, USA Oct 9, 2009 Pours an extremely light yellow. Aroma of sourdough bread and a skunk. Yeasty and grain flavor. Finish is dry. Italy’s version of Bud Light. Not good. Actually, quite horrible. Continues on the long list of "Beers that come in green bottles are terrible" jaymobrown (1341), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 6, 2009 Sitting in Positano drinking a can of this. Trying to write wedding vows and the ceremony for tomorrow. How is the beer? OK. Light, fairly cereal tasting. Some bitterness and dry. A typical macro beer style. Given that it is cold and it is still rather warm, it is welcome.
