Crisp golden coloured body with a deep two to three centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of grass and light malts with only a dash of yeast and floral characteristics showing some alcohol as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy notes dominate with a herbal and yeastie bite that has some alcohol showing at first and then hits with the flowers and grain, but some moderate sweetness comes through on the edges. Aftertaste shows more of the same with the malt and floral notes coming through the strongest, but the alcohol and sugars are very noticeable throughout, despite the style and the lower (relatively, at 7,0%) content, but the bitterness remains quite strong, even at the end. Overall, a decent beer with a good bite throughout with a soft malt presence, with a larger yeast and sweetness than I expected, especially for the style. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from Super U, Are, in PaoPao, Mo'orea, French Polynesia on 27-July-2019 for 290XPF while vacationing in the South Pacific Winter.

I am betting that this is an alias of something else in the Karlsberg family, but who knows? Can from Super U in Guadeloupe. Crystal clear golden color white head with solid lacing. Peppery aroma. Taste is black pepper and straw, light booze. Not bad.

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, a little intense yellow color, light malty grainy aroma with some paper notes, sweet and cloying with some corn and grain, lots of alcohol. Really unpleasant.

Can sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Max. Clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of grains, a bit of honey, alcohol. Sweet flavor, grainy, honey-ish, alcoholic. Quite light-bodied, a bit sticky.

Canned (thanks Mes!). Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is fruits, alcohol, some sweet malts and maize. Flavour is fruits, alcohol, some sweet malts. Leaves a rather strong sticky mouthfeel.
