Pours a typical golden color, topped with average frothy white head. Very mild aroma, some malty notes and some grains. Not much there, really. A light malty taste, slight sweetness in beginning and mild bitterness in the finish. Drinkable when ice cold. nothing special.

Bottle brought back from Cyprus by a colleague. Clear yellow colour lager with an average sized white head. Aroma of grain, grass and hops. Drinkable on a warm day. 9/2/2014 Updated. Had a few glasses of this on draught during my recent visit to Paphos, Cyprus. Became my mainstay choice over KEO when nothing else available from smaller Cypriot brewers. Rather more golden. Aroma also with a touch of malt. Has a light appealing bitterness. Easy drinking, not too carbonation - quite a decent pale lager. 28/7/2015

Bottle 630ml, bb 30-05-2014, cheers to my neighbors for hauling this one back from vacation. Couleur dorée claire, col moyen blanc. Arôme est comme souvent faible avec juste qcq notes de malt pâle pour y donner vie. Le houblon reste très discret. Palais, profil typique des pale lagers sur un accent malté plus disctint. Houblonné modéré qui ajoute juste ce qu’il faut de houblon pour donner un semblant air de bière. Pétillance moyenne avec une fin de bouche offrant qcq pointes de citronné. Reste ok, Eur lager typique et probablement plus sympa à déguster le long de la mer sous le soleil plutôt que ici en Belgique.
