COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First brewed in 1938.
It is a light alcohol drink with not too strong bitterness but rather soft taste; therefore, it's easy to drink it up.

Can. 4.7% UK version contract brewed in Bedford by Wells & Youngs. Pours a medium white head with poor retention and zero lacing. Body is clear pale orange/yellow. All I get on the aroma is wheat and corn and a little metal. Bittersweet. Crisp, refreshing like a good lager. Too sweet on the finish. A little too gassy, this has rather strong carbonation. Never had this before that I am aware, but not quite as bad as I was expecting.

Weak armoa of hay, dough and some yeast aroma, standard fair for the type. Weak light colored head. Light yellow in color. Taste is light with a slightly sweet and bitter mix. Overall not bad for the standard lager.

esp0r (654) - NORWAY - FEB 12, 2011
Bottle. Light light golden with a thin white head. Smells of some sweet malts, not much else. Taste is some sweet malts, maybe a bit dry. Finish is with some bitterness an hops but not much to mention. A beer for those who don’t like flavour in beer

Bought by the bottle at a restaurant in West Palm Shores, FL. Aroma consisted of citrus and dreadlocks. Not great, not awful. I probably wouldn’t have even ordered it had we not been in a marina in South Florida. I feel so much closer to Jamaica there!

KajII (340) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - FEB 9, 2011
Bottle. Poured a clear sparkling pale yellow with a large fizzy white head that was mostly lasting and had fair lacing. The aroma was pretty straight forward for a lager, it consisted of grain malts, piney hops and a soapy yeast. It tasted lightly sweet and grainy at first and ended about the same with a mild bitter hint at the finish. Mouthfeel was light in body and watery/creamy in texture with a fizzy carbonation. Overall just a basic lager with not a bad flavor, nice on a hot day.
