Bottle. Clean golden colour with a small short lasting white head. Aroma is hoppy and bit malty. The taste is well balanced with malts and hops. Thin mass produced pale brew.

on tap-pours a thin white head. Color is clear yellow. Aroma mild grain. Taste is grain and a Corona like ingredient, but better. Good carbonation. A good lager, which they tend to be middle of the road.

Can
Pale yellow, foamy white head. Hoppy start, some bitter in the end. Tastes lame and metallic.

Good white head, diminishes fast. Rather watery, with a clear bitterness. Wonderfully fresh, especially cold (though that isn’t the best recommendation for any beer)

thin, watery, bitter as in too much sun. (wonder if i got a bad sample, 3 sunburned aftertasting beers in a row from the same fridge in cph.)

Hoppy aroma and the flavour is full and nicely balanced, round with a nice bitterness. It’s a nice pilsner. (Very early rating and very short - sorry)

OK head breadlike aroma, typical premium lager, This was 5,1 ABV

Grassy hop aroma with underlying sweet light malt. Brassy gold color with a foamy white head. A bit thin bodied. Sharp carbonation bite. Starts with light maltiness, reasonably balanced by grassy hop. FInishes slightly corny and vegy. The finish is bitter, but a pilsener would be better. Though it beats .... out of Bud and friends.

Can bought at Brussels Midi Railway Station. No aroma detected. Malty orange flavor with some hopbitterness coming up aftert a while. Bland but not too bad for a international type lager. Or was it because I was thirsty and it was 35 Degrees Celcius?
