Bottle greenish brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Head is foamy to frothy, quite big initially with the regular structure, than the head decreases slowly to a minimum but leaves fair lacing what is quite surprising. Body colour is bright, like golden, clear, reminding piss, well filtered, light, transparent, yelowish.
Aroma: Accidic, chalky, very chalky one, some hints of hops and seasam what is probably reasoned by rice content (rice is not felt though), generally aroma is very weak and nothing extraordinary, (some hints os piss additionallya)
Flavour: Flavour is very, very dry, really, that is almost a pilsener, totally no addition of sugar, a bit wattery, some hints of rice are present in the bitterness, grapefruit, seeds, very deep bitterness. I’ve never drunk such a bitter and dry beer. Chalky and bisquity, piss, accidic, dull, refreshing, a bit hoppy, water is of good quality, very soft and apropriate for a pilsener type of beer. Quite well balanced flavour between malted barley and fresh hoppyness at finish. Finish duration is average.
Palate: Body is light, texture is very dry, carbonation on palte is soft, ginish feel is chalky, dull, dry.

Appearance: Gold, little head. Aroma: Like a lager. Bit of fruit. Grainy. Taste: Hopsy. Hint of malt. Bitter aftertaste. Info: 500ml bottle, 11/2-2006, 72/300

quite sour, malty lager nose, corny. Straw yellow, clear. steady white small head. Very corny watery flavours, i guess the rice...(why?) not much of a presence, grassy. baltic lager.

(Draught on 2008-06-20) Pale golden. Clear. Medium-sized white head. Slight hint of hops in very vague nose. Medium dry palate with some carbonation. Hint of malts and some fruitiness. Hops can be tasted.

500 ml bottle from LCBO, served cold in a Weizen glass. JN17/08.[br/][br/] App.: Clear bright golden with a nice white meringue. Aroma: Corn, cereal, grain, light grassy hops, metallic, very light apple juice. Palate: Medium body and carbonation. Flav.: More than the nose, nice light malts, again some cereal and grain, light grassy hops, some apple and pome fruit off-dry with some bitterness, fruity finish.[br/][br/] The flavour was a pleasant surprise – quite like a Pils to me, minus the Saaz hops.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Pale gold with a decent, fluffy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, herbs and a touch of grassy hops. Flavour was sweet, with some doughiness, a metallic edge and a light finish. An ok lager.

Pours a pale yellow with a big white head that dissolves quickly. Aroma is metallic and grassy. Flavour is....haunting......i know there is something in there i’ve tasted before but I can’t place....that aside, there is some corn sweetness, a touch of bitterness, and a metallic finish. Dry finish.

0.5L bottle. Clear pale yellow colour, long lasting frothy head, complex hoppy aroma with herbal and grassy notes. The taste is quite bitter with a touch of sweetness leading to a pleasant medium bitter sweet aftertaste, body is quite light.
