12oz bottle. Pours a light yellow color with small fizzy white head. Aromas of light malt and some corn. Flavor is the same.

From bottle. Pours slight golden color with a little head. Aroma was all grain and bread. Taste was thin with more bread and a bitter end. Slight aftertaste.

12oz bottle, thanks to Daniel. Labeled "Premium Beer". Bottled in Guelph, Ontario, Canada ("imported"!). Clear pale golden yellow color. Some bubbles on the side of the glass. Thin white head. Head fades to minimal (a ring around the edge, a small white patch on the surface). Bready aroma... Something like stomach acid. Light sweet, little bitter taste. Lightly sour. Some light citrus to the aroma. Light to medium body. Smooth, but strong carbonation. Mediocre (and probably old) macro-lager.. Though you could do worse

March 13, 2013 - can from Randalls. Clear yellow pour with nice head that faded quickly. Aroma was malt, grain and maybe corn or rice. Taste was consistent with aroma, but also had a slight bitter finish. Aftertaste was a bit metallic and thin body with some carbonation.

Blonde assez pâle mais d’un jaune franc. Film de mousse tenace, sur un breuvage mince. Au nez, amandes, houblon et bois. Amertume tranquille, surtout du sucré à la fin. On trouve des qualités à attribuer à cette blonde ; contre toute attente on y retrouve du goût, des saveurs qui rehaussent son impact, et aucun défaut majeur. Pas qu’elle soit exubérante ou le moindrement complexe, mais elle a du charme.

Yeah, I’ve had worse pale lagers. Right? Right? Smells okay, better than most other pale lagers. Still, leaves me wishing for a very different beer experience.

Golden yellow in color with a bright white, frothy, but short-lived head, this actually turned out to be a comforting end to a stressful day. It’s highly carbonated, issuing a strong, almost bready aroma that’s sweet and smooth. It’s great in the mouth... I forgot how good this is. It’s full in the mouth and almost creamy, delightful with only a touch of adjuncts. Still, it’s very enjoyable and a pleasure to drink.

Pours a pale yellow. White frothy head that sticks around longer than your typical macro lager. Slightly sweet, malty scent with a little metallic scent,probably from the can. Flavor follows suit. A buy if sweetness in the front that gives way to some tanginess and a small hop bitterness at the end. Fairly thin. More flavorful than a typical pale lager, but not by a lot. Still, for what it is, it isn’t too dreadful.

12 Oz. Bottle. @ Dulles Airport in DC. Just another pale lager manufactured in a macro brewery, poured clear golden wit a little white head. Aroma of bread (yeast). Taste is bittersweet, mostly malty very watery. Not great but it serves it’s purpose.

Sampled at the International Great Beer Expo, Rock Hill, NY in 2010 Pours a clear light yellow with a small white head that fades with little retention.Aroma of light fruit. Taste is rice/grain and but nothing special. There is a minor aftertaste. Unremarkable mouthfeel. Average beer that is ok for a Japanese restaurant but not much else.
