A generic Euro Pale lager, perhaps better than some of them out there. It is a clear gold with a white head and mild on the taste and flavor front.

Mild pale lager, easy to drink down, nice for when you’re feeling like something a little different.

Maybe the worst beer ever. No taste at all. Really horrible, even for a macrobrew.

Golden beer with frothy, off white head. Aroma of your average bulk lager - malt and bread with notes of urea. A little bit of sweetness in the flavour. Taste of grains and hay.

I didnt think that this was that bad. It had a normal eastern European taste to it that is found in most pale lagers of the region.

suurjuust (253) - Tartu, ESTONIA - OCT 15, 2010
UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 Very pale yellow, white head that quickly dissipates. Nose is harsh grains, wet cardboard and water. Taste is mostly the same, maybe with more grainy malt. Finish has very weak hops, barely detectable, although the aftertaste has slightly more hops, they’re harsh chemical stuff. Strange mouthfeel, goes from a watery start to an oily aftertaste. Bad and pointless.

330 ml can. Rated @ 19.6.2010.
Pours a clear yellow colour with a white head. Aroma of grainy malts. Flavour of malts, herbs with metallic notes. Light bodied with a thin mouthfeel. Basic pale lager.

Poured into a pint glass form a large can purchased in Iceland. The beer had a clear gold color without many bubbles, and a decent-sized foamy white head that had short retention and minimal cling. The aroma was mostly grainy and grassy hops, and a touch of lemon, but without much presence of malty scents. Its taste was bitter and grainy, but also had a touch of sweet lemon flavor to it. The beer had low carbonation, and was thin and had average wetness, with a drying finish.
