Jag vet inte hur många pale lagers jag har druckit genom åren, utan att egentligen kunna särskilja dem. Här har vi en som både doftar och smakar annorlunda än många andra. En del menar att det är positivt, andra att det är negativt. Jag tllhör den första kategorin.

11.2oz bottle. Filtered orange-tan, oily non head. Aroma is kind of ugly, factory malt sugar. Adjuncty, sweet, sugary. Wholly unimpressive. Macro amber lager gone wrong. Dirty, grainy. What a crappy beer.

bottle - pours a gold with 1/2 a finger of white head. no lacing. Aroma is not noticeable. Taste is metallic and watery. Even comparing this against other pale lagers, this is beyond bland and boring.

Pours clear yellow with a small white head that fades to a moderate ring that lasts forever. Aroma of corn, grass, slight sweet potato, and bread dough. Flavor of corn, sourdough bread, too mellow to be sweet, but it’s got a bit of sweetness anyway. Finishes earthy and bready, kinda cloying. Light bodied, fizzy mouthfeel, uncreamy. It’s better than some other pale lagers, but significantly less good than Boston Lager. At least it isn’t skunky!

come on...whomever is rating this one compared to other pale lagers is doing the right thing, but comparing this to other beers of different styles isnt fair....is this going to be the most flavorful beer youve ever had? no. Is this going to be the most complex beer youve ever had? no. but if your seriously rating this one your missing the whole point to enjoying beer, this is made for two things...summer BBQ’s and mowing the lawn, plain and simple.

Clear yellow with a white head. Corn and soap aroma. Taste is corn with some sour apple notes and trace bitterness.

440ml can. The beer of choice for many years when I was out clubbing. Pours gold with a medium head. Aroma is corn and cooked veg. Taste has cooked veg to start. Sweet, corn finish.

Surprised that I had not rated this one previously. Have been enjoying it regularly now that summer is here. Has a more robust flavor than mass produced lagers. Palate is on the thicker/heavier side and I also find the taste to be a little on the sweet side.
