tastes like typical euro-piss lager.Smells skunky, no head, urine yellow color. Still tastes better than US macro swill. But not by much.

Pours gold, looks like your typical import knockoff beer, but this one is a little less skunky and a little more tastey than say heiny. You can actually taste the hops in here. I’m impressed since it’s light and swillish, but actually not that bad.

Damn green bottles! Beer has a skunky aroma that always distrcts from the beer. I wish brewers would stop using the green bottle for "that euorpean look" to their beer. My brother actually told me he thought was part of the heiniken flavor and didn’t know it came from the hops reacting to UV light. Beer is a light golden color with a decent sized white head that clings to the glass. Flavor is again not as good as it should be from the slight skunkness of the hops. There is a mild malt flavor and it has some mild bitterness from the hops. Just tastes like a standard heiniken type beer with a little more flavor.

A better than average lager which has a nice golden appearance. It lacks in aroma and richness when compared to some of the european lagers, eminently drinkable but i didn’t feel like up to a Tango.

Bottle. Very light yellow with a beautiful foamy very lasting head. Nose-wonderful skunk and adjunct sweetness. Taste-good skunk flavor, light honey and caramel, perfect crisp CO2m medium sweetness, caramel and light XL malts. A perfect mix of skunk, sweet, and CO2. Excellent beer. Head lasts throught the entire pint. I know that I have rated this a little higher than the average, but I have an affinity for skunky beers.

From the bottle. Initally hit by a strong smell of old man farts, but greatfully changes to a more wheaty smell. Appearance was a very clear light lager. Taste overall isnt to bad, Im not a lager drinker but kind of like it. First taste is a little off putting but gets better. Good easy BBQ beer.

New Zealand’s answer to VB. Drinking canned with airline food probably didn’t help.
