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.

This is the only beer that I have ever experienced where I thought it was better to pour down the sink than drink. I opened the bottle and was immediately overwhelmed by the stench of gym socks and the taste wasn’t any better.

330ml bottle.
pours a bubbly pale yellow. Fizzy head that looks like soap bubbles. Smells and tastes of sour apple juice and bad wine. Thin and overly carbonated feel. Yuck. Ugly beer.

Apple juice aromas, sweet malts, pretty much no sign of hops here. Pours light blonded with thin white head that last about 2 seconds haha. Sweet malts, apple skins, sweet but a little sour. It is a refreshing beer.

Poured transparent yellow with decent head formation, aroma of staleness/grain. Hits the mouth with a bit of sourness, thin body, finish lacking. Decent hot weather drinking beer, but not something I would purchase on a regular basis. It did earn an extra point from me by being available in the "shorty" 12oz bottle, why don’t more companies use this type of bottle?

Not too impressed with this one. Pale yellow, slightly sweet flavor. Pretty much a very forgettable brew. Cool bottles though.

The appearance is yellow straw with a fizzy head that quickly vanishes. The smell is sweet and sour at once, but both qualities are indistinct enough to blend into something unappealing. Taste is actually pretty good--something like a sweet coconut, followed by a bitter finish. As it warms, the coconut turns into a honey sweet, reminiscent of a less intense honey lager. Mouthfeel is unimpressive and average, somewhat watery. The carbonation seems less than usual, but manages to tickle the tongue. Here comes the ultimate negative--after one of these, you begin to build up a high level of gas that you just can’t seem to get rid of. It sits in the middle of your chest and refuses to go away. I asked some friends if they were experiencing the same--and they were. The bloat factor is high, but the beer tastes pretty decent. Better than I expected, but not good enough to warrant another purchase.
