Style: Pale Lager

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

On draught at a local eatery. Pours a yellow/gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is white bread, grass and/or grains. Thin bodied palate with just enough carbonation to tickle the tongue. Flavor is ever so slightly sweet with hints of malt mixed in with grain and corn. Slight bitterness to the finish. Better than Bud.

Yellow with a fragmented head. Aroma of corn, hay and caramel. Sweet hay-like flavours, a bit of grass and a metallic hoppy ending.

In NY from a bottle. A bit of citrus and then grass, hay and toast. Light golden color with frothy head. Light and a bit bitter. Short and thin finish. Easy to drink. Not exciting but better than average (and reliable) daily beer.

Bottle. Clear orange with nice creamy head. Aromas whilst rather subdued are slightly floral. Flavours are very thin. Finish is slightly dry and bitter. OK beer.

This is a beer that i drink and dont hate...but there is nothing special in the body, taste, palte or mouthfeel. Its not horrible it just doesnt bring anything exciting to the table. Did drink a lot of it in Greece :).

330ml bottle. Straw pale gold hue, nice but quickly diminishing white frothy head, minimal lacing. Faint aromas of biscuit, cereal, grain, grass, hay. Short light sweetness, quickly followed by dry bitterness, slightly sour. Very dry after-taste, fizzy carbonation, thin watery texture. I used to really like this beer but that was when all I had to compare to was NZ mass produced beers, still this is one of the better "regular beers" that is on offer, though that isn’t saying much.

Thick creamy head. Clean finish with floral almost citrusy hint. Very consistent and drinkable. Nice overall. Buy it on sale.
