Bottle: Pale golden color, low white head. Grainy, corny aroma, notes of hay and straw. Flavor is grainy, notes of corn, light notes of citrus, straw and some grassy hops. Light bitter finish. Not really good and a bit thin.

Pale golden color. Small, almost no head. Cereal and grain and hay aroma. Taste is spoiled by heavy metallic smell (and somewhat metallic flavour). Citrus-lemon refreshment. Light hop bitterness more like the one of cabbage or other bitter vegetable. Corny malt. Not very sweet. Only good thing is the bottle. Soft carbonation. Light overall.

UPDATED: JUN 9, 2010 A few small samples of this near plonk was all I needed to form an opinion. Thanks to my friend mike for sharing a few ounces. This bottle is fackin ghey, reminds me of Molson Kick, or an energy drink. A deeper golden colour, poured a thin white cap that did not stick around. Nose of sugary pale malts, grains, white bread crust. Tastes of sweet grains and bread crust, with a bit of grassy hops.....but all you really get is sweetness which is quite off putting. Medium bodied, almost thick on the finish....has a strange sweet aftertaste which is like corn syrup. Not great.

330ml aluminum bottle: Pours a light gold clear bright lager in the glass with a puffy white 2 finger cap. Demure nose; light wisps of grains, herbal woodyness, sweetness. Malty front, noble hopping slightly below the malts, thin mouth feel, finishes slightly dry with no after taste. They advertise this as a "lifestyle" beer...I suppose that means for people who like muted Dortmunders in a swank bottle...seriously, this is a well made beer just muted... it tasted like a thin version of Stiegl.

Bottle courtesy of the importer. Despite the fact that it promises an "easy drinking experience directly from the bottle", I choose to pour it into a glass, and found a light golden liquid with a moderately sized white head. Aroma is fresh, grainy and a bit grassy, with a touch of icing sugar. Body is light and crisp. Flavour is about what I expected - grainy malt, grassy hops, good balance, quick finish. Not bad, not great, just an easy drinking pale lager.

Bottle 330ml. Very nice lager. Floral aroma. Taste is sweet, with a bitter finish, and good length. Oily palate, thin-to-medium body. Pale yellow, bubbly, with a frothy head.

A bit of style over substance here, pours light amber with massive lingering white head. Aroma is a bit ordinary, slightly skunky/wet cardboard, flavour is reasonable though, light sweetness with a pinch of bitterness. Cool bottle, but average beer.

Bottle. [thank you, madsnp]
Pours clear golden with almost no head. Aroma is sweet and sugary, some brewing cereal and grainy pilsner malts. Prickly carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is quite metallic (probably from the carbonation), some hay, grainy sweetness, sugar and citric bitter. Not good.

Bottle. Pours pale yellow coloured with a very small egg white head. Sweet aroma with notes of grain, pale malt, honey and caramel. Flavours of malt, cereal and sugar.

Bottle. Mlat aroma with discrete hops. Golden yellow colour. Barley malt flavour with slight bitterness. Just above the ordinary pale lager.
