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.

Had a few here in the states and had a few native. Not really much of a difference between here and there in terms of taste. Maybe they just taste better down there in a more relaxed environment. Good for a mass produced everyday drinking beer, but no match for any average microbrew by today’s standards.

teddybeer (563) - Madrid, SPAIN - JAN 31, 2012
33cl bottle. Best before end Dec’11. Pale golden beer with a large but quickly diminishes white head. Aroma is slightly malty and hoppy. Flavour is slightly sweet at the beginning and a final moderate bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is light.

Its not terrible, its really just a waste of time. I was pretty tired of it by the time I got three sips in but it just dragged on.

Made the mistake of drinking this after a good rum at The Real Jerk in Toronto. Taste was pretty revolting - chemical schlock that I struggled to even finish. At least the food was good.

Can. Yellow. Metallic flavour. Some maly. Ultimately, a decent, mass produced lager.

ralphdot (505) - Billingham, Durham, ENGLAND - JAN 19, 2012
4.7% golden colour with no head, faint malt aroma, usual lager taste, very average hot weather beer.

visionthing (213) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 17, 2012
Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grain. Doesn’t smell or taste very much. Sweet and watery and somewhat refreshing. Slightly bitter and spicy finish.
