Bottle. Pours golden with whiteish head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is grains, alcohol, some nastiness. Flavor is sweet, malty, grainy. Overall: bad, but it’s a country tick!

Die tropischen Temperaturen verlangen derzeit nach einem leichten Bier - da fiel der Griff zur schmucken Flasche leicht. Also rein ins Baströckchen und auf den Kronkorken. Optisch schonmal nicht der Hit, gold halt, klar, Pale Lager eben, wie soll das denn anders sein - kein Schaum, aber zumindest nicht durchsichtig. In der Nase überraschend malzig, nicht so reisig-maischig, wie vergleichbare Biere. Im Trunk die positive Überraschung, das Bierchen hat mehr Charakter, als ich erwartet hätte. Malzig, sogar holla, kernig, und im ganz kurzen Abgang sogar bitter. Das passt schon in der Hitze, sollte aber wohl nicht zu warm werden.

Das erste Mal habe ich dieses Bier 2010 in einem Wiener Bier-Laden namens "Bier-Imperium" gefunden. Der aus Bayern stammende Bier-Imperator fiel einige Jahre später damit auf, dass er Steuern hinterzog und dann nach Ungarn gefüchtet ist. Die kurze unrühmliche Übernahme wurde von einem Proleten-Wirt, dem das Gasthaus nebenan gehörte übernommen, der die abgelaufenen BIer nach der Flucht des Bier-Imperators versetzte, das Business 2012 dann aber komplett in den Sand setzte. Das Bier gibt es aber noch immer in anderen Geschäften auch in Wien. Es ist ein leichtes Lagerbier, das dem Klima angepasst scheint. Geschmacklich ok, wenn auch kein Knaller. -Aber das Etikett mit der Südsee-Dame macht es auf jeden Fall zu einem HIngucker.

Can from Carrefour, drunk 4/23/15
Really just knocking off a Tahiti rate and had super low expactions. Thankfully this was actually quite good. No flaws to it which is always a plus and well-enough attenuated. While it could be a touch more dry, as most industrial pale lagers could, the bit of extra maltiness, which importantly, tastes of actual malt, isn’t unwanted. Moderate carbonation, light bitterness and just a touch of grassy and peppery hoppiness. Clear gold with a large white head that recedes to cover. Fine, drinkable. One could do much worse than drink this on a beach in Tahiti.

Bottle, 0.33l, shared with CanCrusher. Pours clear pale golden with thin white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma is bready, mild yeasty and grassy. Tastes light sweet and sour grainy with crisp and dry mouthfeel and moderate bitter finish. Light body, watery texture and lively carbonation in palate. Very similar to German pilseners, but much more weaker...

The standard lager from Tahiti, with loose but lacing, lightly greyish white head and clear pale golden colour with somewhat greenish hue and vivid sparkling. Minerals and sourish grains in the nose (rice!), iron, grass, faint biscuit touch and a whiff of burning plastic. Neutral onset with sharpish, minerally carbonation, slightly oily but otherwise thin mouthfeel, sourish rice effect as in an Asian lager, clearly metallic ’sound’, grassy hop bitterishness in the finish, medium long and drying, but this may also have to do with a kind of chemical, plastic-like solvents effect, as in many ’macro lagers’. I can only see this function ice cold on a Tahiti beach, with the Polynesian ladies suggested on the label not too far away... Outside of this context: bland and boring lager as there are far too many in this world.
