1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
12-oz bottle at Bistecca Fiorentina with Erica, 8/20/2011. Color is dull gold; small, white, fizzly head that disappeared pretty fast. Taste is boring with short legs. A little bit of fruit and honey with a negligible hop profile, although it was slightly bitter.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A: The beer pours a crystal clear straw color with a fizzy white head that is fairly short lived, but does cling to the glass a bit.
S: Surprisingly not very skunky. A touch of skunk, yes, but it’s mostly clean grain notes. A bit of bread and a fair amount of sweetness with a light straw and grass character. There is an ever so slight...sourness to it, however.
T: The taste is mostly just sweet and fizzy. A lot of adjunct sort of flavors and a lot of grain. Not too much real substantial malt flavor, but a little bit of pale, biscuit notes to it. Some faint hops and a mild bitterness.
M: Light in body with a rather high carbonation.
O: Though it’s easy to hate on this beer, when it’s not completely skunked, it’s not an awful one.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap @ the Mill Inn, Coulter. Pours golden with steady bubbles and not much head. The nose has pale malt and a slightly sulphurous note. The taste has a big citrus note and pale malt. The palate is medium in structure with a big thick texture and a clean finish. Overall, this is the best of the mass-produced lagers that are found everywhere - the palate actually makes it drinkable.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Jag kan inte för min värld förstå varför den här säljs jorden runt, att folk köper den och att den tycks vara så populär. Direkt äcklig smak av metall, ingen som helst egen karaktär. Nix, bort!
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap. Light clear color. Bitter taste, and pretty much a standard tasting large pilsner. Some wheat-type flavors come through.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Thin, bitter, almost sour. Watery, bland. Meh.
A beer for you if you want to drink a lot of something and don’t care that it tastes terribly bland.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Reassuringly uniform. Pours pale yellow. Nose is a touch citrousy acidic hops and grainy cereal malt. Flavour has a bit more too it than blander than bland macro lagers like Heineken and Fosters. Bit of an acidic kick in there and hop dryness on the tongue. Marginally more flavour than other crap lagers but still pretty dull.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
0.33l bottle @ Bergen Airport. This is a clear really light golden beer with a big almost fluffy and lasting white head. Aroma is mild hopy with some acidic tones, some thin malts and some flower-water. Light-bodied, oily to watery texture and average carbonation. Tastes light and almost fluffy. Some OK hops, mild malty and hints of lime. Ends just a little bit on the dry side. Drinkable lager, but I find this best served in the hot sun after a long day at work.
