Thylacine (237), Tasmania, Australia Jan 13, 2009 It seems to be well regarded by many here in Australia but it was the cheapest beer I could buy in Tesco’s when I lived in Scotland. A drinkable pale lager, slightly grassy and mildly bitter - nothing noteworthy. FlssmrBrewAlum (1053), Lisle, Illinois, USA Jan 11, 2009 22 oz draft poured in tap at bw3 (schererville, Il). Poured light straw yellow, transparent body, with small white bubbly head that dissipates to a film. Aromas are light subtle grainy sweetness typical of a lager. Initial is light on the palate, a little fuller than most lagers. Grainy sweetness with subtle bitterness on the backend, a touch sour almost. Maybe a touch adjuncty, but smooth. Typical imported lager. Finishes a little bland. Ehhh. Bierkrug (235), Idar-Oberstein (in Pakistan), Germany Jan 7, 2009 Updated: Aug 12, 2009On Tap in the USA. Just about anywhere in the world. A safe beer when unsure or surrounded by Macros. Nothing special. jimmack34 (560), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Jan 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a persistant frothy head. Smell is of corn grain malt and lightly hopped. Tastes like corn, smooth with lots of grain malts and a hop bitterness that slowly fades. Very drinkable. sdriessen (203), Dunedin, New Zealand Jan 7, 2009 330mL bottle, brewed in Auckland, NZ so not the real thing :(
A rather sweet aroma but with no complexity, some straw-like malt and hops with a bit of alcohol present.
An astringent bitterness with almost no flavour behind it. Some hops in there, but overall boring and watery.
I don’t hate this beer, but I don’t love it. donfardz64 (406), Wellington, New Zealand Jan 6, 2009 Bottle, actually imported from Belgium, not brewed in Auckland. Pours golden with white head. Grassy aroma, tastes of grassy bitter hops. Some candy sweetness as well. Finishes slightly dry. chrissy (122), Connecticut, USA Jan 4, 2009 Bottle: Light and nothing to it. A lot of hype about nothing. Most of the time it’s skunky. watson1977 (250), , Pennsylvania, USA Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Feb 25, 2009the aroma is nearly non-existent but the appearance is somewhat pleasing...it is a bright golden color with a foamy white head and thick lacing and lots of bubbly action. it is a light drinkable beer but the flavor is merely inoffensive and offered nothing to speak of other than some light hoppiness. it has a bit of a creamy mouthfeel for a lager but the finish is fairly abrupt. i wouldnt turn it down but i wouldnt go out of my way to drink it very often.
