Clear yellow with a white head. Bready aroma. Taste is doughy malt with a little honey and light hops. Surprisingly decent dortmunder-style.

tiong (1002) - Espoo, FINLAND - JUL 18, 2011
Can from Alepa Otaniemi. Originally rated on 2.4.2010. Decent bulky lager with a slightly metallic taste and notes of bitterness and malts.

bluevegie (2853) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUN 8, 2011
Yellowy golden body with decent head. Citrus notes on the aroma and that was the most it had going for it as the taste was fairly bland and a little thin.

ectuohy27 (258) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 23, 2011
Bleh--rather off-putting, skunky, thin and watery pale lager. Little aroma (and this is a good thing), taste is of mostly adjuncts. Forgettable

chandler0201 (599) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - MAY 16, 2011
Golden pour with large, thick white head. Aroma of bread an some malts. Flavor was more corn, but slightly bitter for the style. Finish was watery and metallic with a quickly building bad aftertaste.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - MAY 3, 2011
Bottle: Pours a clear pale yellow color with a nice light white head. The nose is metallic and grainy with a hint of skunk and husk. The flavor has a light toasty dust note with a minerally/bitter note in the finish. The tail is a bit rusty but there’s a nice overall quality to the beer. Fresh and cold and on tap in estonia, this might just do the trick.

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2011
4x 500ml tins decanted into plastic glasses at Saku Suurhall, Tallinn. Don’t ask. Gold fizz with a shrinkÍng head of fluff. Glue and lemon curd on crackers aroma. Wheat softness, horrible bitterness like licking rusty coppers. Prawn afters. Mindless fizz with nasty industrial off-notes. (Better draught- cleaner with breadstick notes- 10?)
