Pours a clear golden colour with a thick white foamy head. Mild aroma of hops. Tstes light and malty and a bit bland. In the mouth it is light bodied with a mild metallic bitterness. Finishes with a slight bitterness.

Aroma of butter, elastic bands, matchbox, farts and pine. Bright gold/slim head turning to a halo. Honeycomb, rubber band and refuse taste. Beautiful.

your stock standard pale lager. nothing special but drinkable, especially on a hot day.

June 2009: Brown 330ml bottle obtained from ’Beers of Europe’. Poured into a stemmed pilsner glass, it looked the part. Clear, bright golden lager colour with a good white head that hung around for a while before turning into a wispy covering and collar. There was some lacing as the beer was consummed. Very little in the way of aroma, some grassy notes but not a lot of anything (like most lagers/pilsners). The taste was different to your normal lagers, this was woody, earthy and interesting. It was dry and refreshing, had a hidden depth of character and suprised me in its complexity. One of the best lagers I’ve had since I started reviewing on this site. Glad I made the effort to try it, highly recommended.

6 pack cans brought to me by a friend from Mauritius. Not much to say about this. Poured slightly golden, almost transparent. Malty aroma and flavor. Regular ol light lager. Excited to try it though. Not something I can pick up everyday.

Golden colour...peachy taste, strange harsh aftertaste...small white head, watery texture
