(Bottle 35,5 cl) Golden, filtered, weak head. A slight touch of hops on the nose, high carbonation and then....nothing. Water is the most prominent flavoural impression with a bit of corn. Thin, thin, thin.

Bottle from Piers at Catford BF 06. Crystal clear gold, no head. Corn aroma. Fizzy, sweet, please don’t make me drink any more of this.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2007 Golden-straw colour. Big bubbles and no head...yuck. To use the most oblique reference possible, this beer’s grainy, fuselly, appley nose is everything I remember and disliked about the smell of Kokanee back in high school. Taste’s about as bad...it’s bland as far as the hops go, but the graininess overtakes any malt character that might be there. Wateriness counteracts high alcohols and acetaldehyde. That would be poor construction, no better than the way McDonald’s uses salt and lard to cover up the cardboard character of their burgers.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2005 12 oz can-Pours a pale gold, with a nice white head. Taste is nice and crisp. Good level of carbonation. Overall a nice pale beer.

Bottle. Poured clear light golden color with a medium frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate balanced sweet aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with an average beer.

Typical american lager, no hops , clean tasting, probably uses adjuncts, rather innocuous..

Really, the only good things I can say about this beer are: the head is well-retained and the finish is nice and dry. Otherwise, the difference between this stuff and tap water would be the carbonation. This beer is like having sex in a canoe... fucking way too close to water!

Poured a light golden color with an averaged sized head. Nothing special (their Lager is better). I was at my wife’s work party tonight and the host’s husband insisted I have a good beer - the choice was Corona or this - I’d take this over Corona any day...

Bottle, June 2006. Decent enough clear yellow colour. Light, inoffensive grainy aroma. Tastes awful. Sweet and watery with a very stale malt edge. Didn’t really get any hops at all. Deadly dull mouthfeel. Not impressed..

Not nearly as good as the lager. Pours pale yellow, with some hops and citrus in the aroma and taste.
