Bottle. Clear light golden in color with a huge but fast dissapearing head. Malty and very fruity. Sweet and very slightly hoppy. Very fruity and sweet tast

A yellow beer with no head. Slightly sour aroma - probably from the corn used for the brewing but also slightly malty. The flavor is dominated by the corn sourness combined with a slight sweetness and a slight bitterness. There is absolutely no aftertaste. One of the most boring beers I've ever had.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Jamaican version. Pilsener golden with a creamy head. Malty nose. Medium body with notes of malt and brewing cereal. Some vague hops in the finish. Standard, bland lager but not really offensive. 010306

(Bottle 33 cl) British version brewed by Charles Wells in Bedford.
Neatly pilsener golden with a small head. No real aroma, no real flavour either apart from a sticky, chicken fodderish sweetness. No hops. "One of the world’s great beers" the label claims, yeah right.... 4/2/3/2/7=1.8 200801
