500ml can. Pours a clear yellow gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy pale malt, red apple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, red apple and light grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average to soft carbonation. A bit too sweet for me, but refreshing and crushable. Good for what it is.

Surprise gift from my mom's neighbor in florida! Green bottle. Must be fresh, no sign of skunk on the olfactory. Actually, I think I'm getting some freshly cut hay in this. Eye is clear pale. My first impression is that it has a good co2 level, I appreciate that! Man, this stuf is going down quite easy! It actually is very refreshing. There is a hint of bitter hops but not really, not sure what nikito was gettin at. Yea the hops are pure fresh noble fer sher. Well behaved. Glad I got 2 of these, yea!

Can pours out pale straw topped with a white head. Nose is corn grain and some sweetness. Taste is more of the sweet cream corn and not much else.

perfect appearance of clear golden colour and large, dense white head which lasts forever; aroma of toffee, grainy, some cardboard and metallic notes; taste of malty-caramellish with some herbal and metallic-bittery notes; not a masterpiece for sure, but looks really nice and its aroma is also acceptable

Russian license bottle of 0.45 l. Golden, clear, good white foam. Aroma: a little sulphurous-herbaceous hops, malt, usual. Taste: light, malty, a little candy, watery, a minimum of hops, a typical mass eurolager without a soul.
