Can (440ml 4.7% ABV) from The Beer Store. Pours a slightly unfiltered light golden-yellow colour with a white cap, decent stay and lacing. Malty tasting with some light sweetness and hints of hops. Malty cereal nose with some light hops as well. Not as bad as I expected. A lager that is a notch up from the macros.

Bottle in Auckland. Backlog rating from bottle collection and historic scoring. No tasting notes kept, just rating.

Can - Light grains and just a touch of skunk. Clear pale gold with a rich white head. Light apple, little sweetness and a long finish. A bit perfumy but OK.

Very light, very little flavour or aroma. However, it is cleanly made, but very plain. Can from LB. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

440ml can. (4.7% ABV) Pours a clear pale yellow with a medium, short lived, fizzy, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of pale malt, grass and grain. Sweet flavour that matches aroma with a mildly bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Ok as far as lagers go, just boring. Nothing sets it apart from any other lager out there.

330ml bottle into glass. Slight hop/malt nose. Pours a pale yellow with big lasting white head. Some carbonation. Taste is sweet followed by slight metallic bitterness which lingers. Hot day? Drink this ice-cold from the bottle and it will do the job.

Bottle: I should have set it back in the beer tub as soon as I saw it was in a green bottle. It appeared clear since I didn’t waste a pour. The aroma was pure sun riddled skunk cock, I almost wanted to screw the top back on since it was a twist, but I had used the bottle opener like a dumbass. The taste was very bitter, sour past its best days grain. I could almost make out laughter of the distributor that brought this gem into South Korea!

Bottled. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is skunky and dominated by brewing cereal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and metal as well as skunky notes of brewing cereal, leading to a dry metallic finish.
