Drunk from the can, so I didn’t get a good look at the pour. The aroma is a lot of cereals, resinous hops, and grass. The flavor is fairly bitter, with a dank sweetness. Light body, crisp, and a little astringent. Overall, this is a very hoppy, grainy pale lager. Not flavorful enough to be a good beer, but not sessionable either.

Sample from 473 ml. can. Clear, golden colour with a small, white head. Sweet aroma with fruits, grasses, hay and pale malts. Taste is light sweet. Light to medium body. Short, bitter finish. Rather generic.

Full can. Pours like a standard lager, translucent, bubbbly carbonation, yellow, fizzy. Aroma is crisp malts, some grassy notes, some floral character. If only other mass produced lagers would be like this. A pretty good lawnmower beer. Would drink again on a hot day.

Can. Gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of hay, citrus flowers, faint tropical fruit, pepper. Thin body, moderate carbonation. Plain clean malt, spritely hop notes including citrus, lychee, spices. Straightforwardly pleasant and refreshing. Is what it’s supposed to be.

Can, 16oz. A two-finger white head forms over an almost clear, golden body. The aroma has a nice peachy, light resiny and fruity scent, with some pale malts blending in. The flavor has a decent bitterness, some peachy, piney hop flavors and a little touch of pale malts. Medium body, soft carbonation and quite dry. Oranges, pine cones and some generic fruityness in the end. Overall, much nice than what I expected when pulling it from the cooler, didn’t notice the brewery then, as it was stuck between loads of bland pale lagers. Anyway, even considering it is a premium lager it’s a nice one. 130811
