I’ve not met a pale lager I have liked, so let’s see if this can change my mind. Typical sticky straw smell doesn’t really give me much hope. Pours straight yellow with a little bit of lingering head. really light mouthfeel, with a slightly sticky syrupy taste that’s quick to go down, but not particularly tasty. It’s very meh.

Golden with thin head. Aroma of cereal. Sweet flavor, similar to a Helles, very light on the tongue, carbonation on the low side so it not so prickly like an American light lager.

Nice clean aroma and a crisp hoppy flavor and fizzy mouthfeel. Pretty straight-forward but decent.

Bottle. Clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Balanced aroma and flavour of honeyish malt and grassy hops, with a moderately bittered finish. Crisp body, quite refreshing. Another surprisingly decent Euro-style lager from these guys.

12 oz bottle that came in "Beers of the World" multi-pack. Pours clear golden with fluffy white head. Aroma is malt, hops and corn. Flavor is bland with hops, malt, corn and a little honey. Best part of this beer is the drinkability. Smoth drink that is just touch better than Miller Lite.
