cmonster (897) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 1, 2013
Bottled. Pours crystal clear pale gold with a fluffy medium sized white head. Persistent head, solid lacing. Good start. Medium sweet corn aroma and not much else, but it’s pleasant enough. Flavor matches the nose with a thin-sticky texture, light-med body and a mild hop and creamy malt finish. Solid drinker.

jookos (764) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 30, 2013
Can. Pee coloured, clear. Grainy light malty, pretty neutral yeast. Light body, pretty normal bulk lager. Not bad though, well made, good consumability.

hawthorne00 (1860) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - APR 7, 2013
Bottle. Pale gold with a white head. Grainy aroma with some lemon. Sweet and pretty bland with modest but somehow harsh bitterness. Finish is dry. Not really enjoyable but more dull than offensive.

Viper666 (2706) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 28, 2013
Bouteille 500ml. De couleur dorée pâle et claire. Léger nez de grains de malt, de maïs sucré avec des notes de miel ainsi que des notes de houblon floral et herbeux. Assez mince en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse et aqueuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle légèrement croustillants lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de maïs sucré avec des traces de sucre chimique puis en finale l’on retrouve un très léger goût de houblon herbeux (gazon) aux notes florales. Post-goût court, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales. (2006)

GIJOE (132) - Monterey, California, USA - MAR 25, 2013
Pours cloudy yellow like pee. Smells a little better than pee; something like wet corn husks.Tastes a little better than pee, I imagine, although I can’t be sure, as I’ve never tried pee. Blech. Tfoo.

hens (201) - Tallinn, Estonia, ESTONIA - MAR 19, 2013
0,5L bottle. Light yellow color. (6-10 years ago was nice golden). Taste is also waterly and bland like all Saku beers lately. Aroma is nice of hops. Finish is little bitter. Usual beer.

ccex (799) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - FEB 19, 2013
500ml bottle pours a clear yellow with moderate white head. Aroma is grainy, malty, cardboard and grassy. Taste has a bit of hoppy bitterness. Body is thin with average carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel. If you enjoy pale lagers, this one is definitely worth a $1.49 try.

Leini (279) - SWEDEN - FEB 4, 2013
330ml can. Light clear yellow, white überthin head. Some malt and hops but mostly watery. It feels like the canis giving more aromas than the brew.
