BlackForestCO (489), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Apr 21, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a thin, fizzy white head. Aroma of light pilsner malt and grass. Light maltiness leads into a pretty watery finish. Not much flavor, reminds me of Heineken in a way. Alright with Chinese food, but that’s only if they don’t have anything else.
thejoeshow (103), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Aug 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear thin, pale yellow color with a not so substantial head. There is a complete lack of head retention. Nose has a bit of skunkiness going on but passed that there is hints of grain and a touch of DMS. There is a bit of skunk to start and then mostly light malt flavor with a slight bitterness at the end. Very light bodied and easy to drink. My opinion: just another mass produced American Lager that doesn’t really stand out from the crowd. gameface23 (77), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Aug 16, 2008 Very crisp, very dry. Standard lager taste. Goes well with Chinese food. Pale straw color with high carbonation. Steinface (63), Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 A pretty boring lager, the Chinese did not do much but add a bit of rice flavor to spice it up. mostly tastes and feels like water. Borresteijn (427), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 12, 2008 Bottle @ Chinese restaurant. Sweet lager, rice taste, slightly hoppy finish. OK. Skidds (172), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aug 7, 2008 I like this one more than I thought I would. Tasted perfect with the spicy Vietnamese cuisine at the restaurant. It has all the normal lager characteristics, but it is a lot more sweet than the typical lager. Interesting.
