Bottle. Looks great, pale with white head. Looks almost like a helles. Faint malty aroma. Thin body, not herbal with a little bittery tang. Watery finish. This is a very ordinary beer.

Bottle: Pours a clear golden color with a smaller white head and light lacing. Aroma is faint fruit and floral notes. The taste is quite earthy, floral, almost like dandilions. Hints of fruit present, but overwhelmed by the floral/grassey notes.

Pour is a blond with a small white head. Aroma is nothing. Flavor is not much more. Very thin amount of malts and hops. No reason to seek this one out.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy pilsener golden with a small, off-white head. Very malty nose. Medium body with soft and rather sweet, malty notes - almost like the juice of soaked wheat. Decent as such, but not clean and crisp as a Kölsch is supposed to be. No bitterness. 290306

Heavily carbonated. Chemical aroma. Dark yellow with no head. Some malt flavor; a step above an ordinary lager.

Bottle Pours a clear very light golden, slightly orange color. Quite active white head that quickly dissipated. You cant really have lacing with there is only a single row of bubble hanging around at the edge of the glass either. Aroma is very pale grain, pilsner like with a little fruit notes. Aprocots maybe and a slight spiciness. Flavor is a mild light grain, subtle with nothing realy grabbing you. Lightly hopped and without much bitterness at all. Lively carbonation and a soft palate. Pleasant enough and it met my conservative expectations.

Bottle. Very pale golden beer with no head. Aroma of light malt with some fruit. Taste is fruity with a little bready malt. Not a strong flavor, but it has a little hop bitterness at the end. Just doesn’t do it

This beer reminded me of a "mainstream" beer by it's appearance: Miller Lite, Bud Lite, something along those lines. It sure didn't taste like it... but I don't know if that's good or bad. It's good because I am so sick of the mainstream beers, but it's bad, because afterwards I wanted a Bud Lite. It's very "boring."
