It’s golden with a white head and the aroma has notes of malt, vegetables and a touch of citrus. The flavor has a light sweetness and pretty much the same notes + a little cardboard. The finish is slightly dry. Oh well, cold and wet...

280 ml green bottle kindly shared by gunnar. Clear golden with a small, white, creamy head. Herbal, grassy and wet cardboard nose. Watery and bland. Light acidic and light sweet. Light body. Medium carbonation.

Shared bottle ,provided by my beer pal Kai. Pours clear straw colored with a tiny white head. Smells like Heineken, sterile water. light cat piss. Taste is relative fresh, almost crisp hoppy, citrus. Watery mouthfeel, ends rather quick.

Shared 280 ml green bottle. Pale golden colour, low white head. Moderate citrussy / catty aroma, some wet cardboard in the background. The flavour is fairly fresh with a hint of citrus, no doubt drinkable on a beach in the Seychelles, but not interesting anywhere else.

0.28l bottle courtesy of InBreak. Hmm, a lager from the Seychelles? Could go either way this, so here we go: This one pours a clear golden body with a small slowly fading white lager-head. Aroma has pale malts, it’s quite grainy with notes of really wet dog and all in all not very nice. Oily mouthfeeling, average carbonation and light to medium-bodied. Tastes first kinda blend, mild and watery, then it gets really malty in the finish and aftertaste. Drinkable, but not to exciting.

Bottle, shared with Palme and friends. (Thanks to Inbreak (Kai-Sindre) for bringing it home from his honeymoon in the Seychelles! :-)) Pours a classic light yellow pale lager body with a small white head. Nose is skunky grass, pale malts and hints of grain. The skunkiness is nowhere to be found in the taste, however, which is dominated by grainy tones of pale malts, cereals and only mild hints of hops. A pretty standard "international lager", smooth and easy-going but oh so boring.

280 ml bottla as a gift, thanks Bartazo!
Poured pale golden with a small froathy white head that diminishes to a small lacing one. Sourish and dead yeast cells in the bready malt aroma, some grassy hop. Forgettable taste, weak body with some malt, lively carbonation brings the yeast flavor and the grassy hop. Good for thirst quentching, nothing more.

Csapolva és 0,28 literes üveges kiszerelésben is többször újrakóstolva! Szép magas (sejtszerű) nem túl tartós hab, mely ahogy szétesik érdekes gyermeki figurákat hagy a pohár falán. Egyszerű gabona illat jellemzi, de ennél nem is akar többet ez a helyi sör. A célját pedig elérte, mert a szigetre oly jellemző apró boltok előtt százasával rozsdásodnak a kupakok, a boltban lévő 2-3 fagyasztóládából van, hogy egyet teljesen ezzel az itallal töltenek fel. És elfogy! Íze egyébként nem sok, minden címkén szereplő összetevőből valamennyi. Utóízében a komló és a maláta egy kicsit ottmarad. Ami érdekes az a csapolt változatban figyelhető meg igazán. Érezhető egyfajta kellemes ostya íz mindenek felett, ez pedig nagyon frissítően hat a nagy melegben, könnyen ihatóvá és újraihatóvá téve a főzetet. A rendőrök pedig (ezzel is segítve a 70.000 lakosú ország sörgyártását) nem ellenőrzik a sofőrök alkohol szintjét :-)

Appearance: Beer pours great, leaving a hodge-podge of different bubble sizes in a pure white, foam lace of a head. Colour is a clear, bright, pale yellow. Smell: Clean and crisp nose, with light fruity, grain, floral and metallic aromas. Delicately aromatic. Taste: A rich malty lager with a pleasant sweetness that is balanced, and complemented, by a mildly limey-like hop bitterness (reminicent of Heineken but smoother and better) plenty of floral hoppiness. Light, complex fruity notes. Crisp, semi-dry, but an overall smooth mouthfeel and a firm body. Tame metallic and fresh bready notes. Finishes just a tad drier with some trace grain and very slight metallic flavours. Notes: I can’t remember a cleaner, fresher tasting session lager I’ve had on holiday.

Bottled 28cl. It pours a pale golden beer with a small head. The nose is sweet with notes of grass, compost, metal and cereals. Sweet malty taste. Low carbonation. Grainy with hints of glue. Grassy. Slightly sour. Not much lacework. Low bitterness. Compost sneaking in. Residual sugars in the finish. Mediocre. Thanks a lot bov for this beer!
