Slightly better than a US macro, but not by much. Lots of corn and rice flavors in there and not much else.

Clear, pale yellow lager with a mid-sized, whispy, white head. Mediocre retention. Decent lacing. Who cares? Smells like a gauze bandage, but just barely. Almost completely nondescript. Tastes like seltzer water with just a spritz of lemon juice in it. Ultra light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. There is no finish... just like an old man, it has no ass end. It just stops abruptly. This beer could only be enjoyed in the 130 degree heat of Kenya. I am awarding a score above 0.5 only because the beer in not actually offensive.

Pale blond color. Almost no aroma. Thin body, watery, no taste. Just a quite strong final bitterness.

Straw colored with a white head. Saaz styled head. Tastes pretty mild with a refreshing taste.

(bottle - 1 month out of date) Pale straw with white head, some lace. Fairly crisp lager with hint of hops flavor with slightly sweet finish. Would be a good beer to have ice cold on a hot day.

Pale straw colour with a white head, fading quickly. Thin malt and grassy hop aroma. Flavour is similar, faint corn flavour, crisp finish, and very little bitterness. Reminds me of many American Standards.

Pale straw gold. Light hops coupled with a sweet background aroma. The head is composed of large bubbles and is not well-retained. The taste is dry at first, but as you get deeper into the glass, it develops a sweet aftertaste. Bottles are dated, examine for freshness.

A few months past the sate on the bottle. Nice and light. A decent amount of hops and malt for a light lager. Corn flakes in the taste. This is ok.
