Canned. After reading through http://www.worldbeercup.org/winners.html I realized that I hadn’t rated thos beauty - the bronze medallist of Category 22: European-Style Low-Alcohol Lager/German-Style Leicht(bier) (16 Entries). It pours pale golden with a miniscule head that diminshes at the speed of light. The aroma is fairly vague, with boiled vegetables being by far the most prominent feature. It’s sweetish, thin and sharp. The edgy aluminium flavour is only rivalled by an offputting concotion of decomposing vegetables and stale butter. The vague notes of grassy bitterness in the slightly drier finish is the closest it gets to anything remotely likable. If this is a bronze medallist (and Falcon Extra Brew 3.5%, probably being the same beer with a different label) is a gold medallist I fully understand where the rumours of a high suicide rate amongst the judges in World Beer Cup comes from.
