Bottle 330ml.

Clear medium yellow colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, boiled potato water, vegetables, cooked corn. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, acrid bitter, malt. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20111008]

12 fl oz bottle. Pours pale yellow with a huge and chalk white head. Cornish aroma. Flavour is cornish and sweet syrupy. Cornish and bitter flavoured finish. Simple and boring.

A golden beer with a fine head. The aroma is sour and caramel. The flavor is caramel sticky, brewing cereal, no real bitterness, but a slight dryness from the hops and the body is thin. Just another boring international lager - too sweet.

UPDATED: JUN 10, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Belgian version brewed by Inbev. It does however feel like a sacrilege to rate it as a Belgian beer, because, in essence, it’s an American lager. It says "extra pale" on the label. As if that’s a quality. But it is pale indeed, with a nice, tall head. Artificially provoked? With both corn and rice in the brew it is typically commercial. Very American macro, in the same range as Budweiser. 311003

Draught at Richmond Arms, Houston
Blond color, thin head, nice lace. Smooth taste, with light malt. I wonder if it was the wrong tap…

(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma of welding fumes, citrus, and light malt. Flavor of hops and lightly chemical finish.

33cl bottle. Pale gold with thin white head. Some citrus some corn/cereal aromas. Dull malt. Not a lot of flavour at all. Bit buttery, not too carbonated bit of lemon/hop on the finish. Just boring

Typical light lager. Nice skunkiness from the green bottle.

Better than Bud et al., but not enough to ever drink it again. Light yellow color, skunky aroma, minimal flavor.
