Haven’t had it for years. Clear golden. Tall frothy head, present lacing. Grassy & grainy aroma with hints of yeast. Light to medium body. Thin texture. Sweet grainy taste with notable yeastiness. Light bitterness. The same in ending. Hops in the aftertaste. All in all an acceptable Eurolager but really nothing more

24oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of mostly grains with a little skunk. Taste is light sweet with a little corn and grains. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, meh. Ive had worse but this isnt much to talk about.

Clear golden coloured body with a nice white head and a crisp glow. Aroma of alcohol, metal, malt, a hint of rice and a bit of very light hops. Light-bodied; Fresh malt flavours with some honey notes, a bit of grass and a light hop and floral note to finish off. Aftertaste shows relatively light flavours with rice, metal, malt and a hint of citrus. Overall, a decent light beer with some okay flavours and a hint of a metallic and medicinal flavour to finish off. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased at Cairo Liqour in Washington, DC sampled after a hockey game on 18-March-2013.

Bouteille 500ml. Nez malté de grains de malt pâles, léger de maïs sucré ainsi que des légères notes de houblon floral et herbeux ainsi que de légumes bouillis. Mince-moyenne en bouche et assez pétillante. Goût de grains de malt pâles légèrement croustillant lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un léger goût de légumes bouillis avec des traces de pain et maïs sucré puis vient ensuite un très léger goût amer de houblon floral et herbeux (foin). Post-goût court, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec un léger goût herbeux.

50cl can from Tallinn. Pours clear pale yellow with a white head. Lightly malty with some fruity notes and hints of hops. Less sweet than expected and lightly malty with hints of green apples and cooked vegetables. Slightly sour too, with a soft and mild bitterness in the finish. A bit thin and watery. Hints of metal, but drinkable. Fairly standard pale lager, drinkable and somewhat refreshing.

Very watery lager. Malty and a little bitter but drinking water will be better.
