Bottle. Yellow coloured with a white head. Sweet, malty aroma. Medium sweet flavour with a slightly bitter hop finish. Harsh carbonation on the tongue. Not awful.

Bottle. Crystal clear. Boo...Pale lager. Pee colored.Not awful.. Inoffensive.

Bottle. Very clear yellow pour with no head. Aroma is basement aromas, earthy, and skunk. Taste is malts and kind of watery. Very smooth and drinkable.

from 650ml bottle. Clear golden colour with a tall white head. Skunky aroma. Flavor is very nice. Bitter and floral. Great mouth feel and good carbonation. Great lager.

A very crisp and suprisingly flavorful lager. If you’re a lager guy, this is about the best you can get. Quite hoppy for a lager, skunky. Overall, fair to good.

208 Bottle - Pours a pale yellow with a medium white head...aroma is typical lager skunk, maybe a bit hoppier than others...flavour is crisp and clean grassy malt and bitters...I would much rather drink this than some of the other lagers on the shelf...decent...

Bottle bb 23/10/09 Yellow with meduim head and carbonation. Aroma of grainy hop, slight dms and green apple. Grainy astringent malt with a harsh hop bitterness. Overall good balance of malt and hop, but the astringent malt and harsh hop are a bit out of balance.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2010 Tried a skunked sample. I’m not sure how much improvement it would have been had it not been tainted.
RE-RATE 1/5/10 Clear golden pour, like urine rich in phosphates. Smell was again skunked; big surprise. Taste was also skunked. Dammit 0-2. I refuse to give this shit another try.
