Bottle. Golden colour, large white head. Aroma is a bit skunky, malty and grassy. Quite crisp, mostly bland tasting, highly carbonated. Surprisingly inoffensive.

Pours a nice yellow color with a strong skunky aroma. Very smooth palate with hints of molasses or coffee perhaps...? Surprisingly full bodied from a pale ale. It reminded me of some sweeter stouts I have tasted without the heaviness.

A lemon and grass aroma. The appearance is a cloudy yellow with a moderate head. The flavor is indeed crisp and not skunky tasting but with little to offer. Its a heinken with a different label on it basically. Overall it will do.

Light Gold Coloring. Hard to State or Phrase What Can be Summed Up in One Simplific Way: Skunkarific!

Pours a clear straw color with a thin, white head. Aroma is malty with a slight skunkiness. Taste is not as bad as I thought it would be ...rich for a pale lager: sweet and malty with a pleasantly bitter hop presence. Overall, not a bad sort of beer.

Pours clear yellow with a mostly receding white head. Aroma is grassy, slightly bready. Taste is metallic, grainy, and not good. But also not bad. Taste is somewhat bready with enough hop bitterness to provide a contrast. Slightly sour at first, and unnerving. This one has a strange hop tang in the finish, quite unusual. This is a bad beer, but it leaves me guessing. Think Heine or Becks with a funky hop finish.

Pale yellow hue, delicate floral hops, with a soft malty nose, but skunky smell at the opening of the bottle, medium-bodied palate with sweet grainy malt flavor, leading to a mild earthy hops finish.
