“All malt pilsner.” Medium to darker gold color, high head. Nice malty aroma, rich, rather sweet, with a bit of fruit and a touch of hops. Like a Bavarian pils. Sweetish, rich malt flavor. Light on hops, but they are there. Finish is also rich malt, with noticeable hops but they are not strong. Slight bitterness lingers. Dry, but not “Dry.” The malt is tasty and welcome after too many “dry” beers.

Canned(350ml). -Trade with faroeviking (thanks Jacob!)
Pale golden coloured, small white head, almost neutral nose. Lively carbonation. Surprisingly malty and slight acidic with notes of corn. Short bitterish finish. Drinkable.

Can courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who got it in a trade with faroeviking (thanks!) Poured a gold body with a medium-small white head that went away relatively fast. Sweetish malty nose. The taste is sweet and malty, slightly yoghurty, which is good but the hopiness is acidic and basically crap, ruining what otherwise might’ve been quite a solid lager. Not bad but just ok overall.

Can. A golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - all in all a bit sickening, with a slightly bitter finish. The body is thin.

Pours golden clear with a large, creamy white head. Run of the mill "Premium Lager" aroma of malt and sweet corn. Smooth mouth. Doesn’t taste too bad, malt, and maybe some light citrus. Has a slightly bitter finish. Meh, it’s OK.

Biggish offwhite head. Golden body. Light malty aroma with faint grain and apple notes. Taste is bitter fruity grain and chalk, stronger than expected. Dry chalky grassy aftertaste. Not bad, but I could do without the bitter chalkiness. (0.35l can.)
