Bottle. At local soccer dome after playing an indoor game. In plastic cup. Pours clear, pale yellow, with fizzy, medium white head. Aroma is rubber, band aid, and grass, very slight hint of sweetness. Flavor is similar, actually tastes more like a pilsner to me. Grassy, bitter aftertaste, crisp, little malt flavor.

A little skunky coming out of the bottle. Dry and astringent just as the description says. Clear golden in color and does indeed develop a grassy aroma as the beer warms slightly. Usually I like bitterness but this is kinda medicinal in flavor. Probably won’t drink again.

Pale gold colour with a fair head,but dissappears to some lacing,Aroma is they say grassy I say fresh manure,This brewery has a habit of making sour salty brews,this is another I gave away for that reason,nice opening bitter taste,then a terrible finish.

Large white lasting head generating some ring and random lace over a medium pale gold crystal clear coloured brew. Medium bitter hops and faint soapy aroma. Medium to light body with typical low end lager medium bitter and ordinary malty corny sweet favoured palate. Rawish bitter finish and soft malty corn sweet malt aftertaste.

Not bad for a pale lager but not very exciting and a little bit too bitter. Better than similar American alternatives but nothing great.

Bottle. Grassy hop aroma. Brassy golden color with a respectable white head that laces a little. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Pale malt, but a lot of grassy hop. Comes a bit veg and a bit fruity, but dry it is. Bitter as well. Crisp. Oh so much better than the American macros.

12 oz. bottle poured into my trusty beer stein- poured standard transparent light golden- yellow water, white head formed but then went away, no carbonation. Aroma of light malt and alfalfa. Hits the mouth with a thin body, malt and hops are out of balance, finish lingers. Wasn’t expecting much, and I got it.
