Bottled. A golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet grainy, but also with a light metal note and a skunky off-note. The flavor is sweet malty with a light metallic note - my gues is that it comes from the hop used, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks BelJohansen for sharing.

This lager poured a light yellow colour with a bright white bubbly head. To the nose there was scents of corn, malt and a little egg??? First sip was watery and very thin. Not bad tasting but nothing to it. The finish was malty with a little corn flavour then...nothing. Just a very, very light beer flavour.

Bottled (as Castlemaine XXXX Export Lager by Carlsberg Italy). Golden colour, small head. I like when birds fly high up in the sky, so this has the aroma of malts and skunked hops, while the animals panic and run out of the way of the smell. Flavour is cooked vegetably malts, something that will not make a traditional meat-eating Finn happy. One of the worst things I have had in a long time.

Bottled (BB 08/2007, labeled as Expot Lager, brewed by Carlsberg Italy).
Golden color, not much head. Metallic, hints of cardboard, fruity estery aroma. Unclean, slightly skunky fruity and malty flavor. Fizzy carbonation. Aftertaste vanishes quickly.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly deminishing head. Yellow colour. Bad soapy aroma. OK flavor but thin and just light bitterness. Watery palate but soft carbonated. This is why there is a canoo-joke.

38 cl bottle. This beer is primarily a thirst quencher, and if you are really thirsty it might do as an average lager. But it isnt..

Ein recht langweiliges Lager. Süffig ist es, das Aroma bleibt aber größtenteils auf der Strecke, erst im Nachgeschmack gefällt das Bier durch feinherbe, lang anhaltende und gut dosierte Herbe. Test vom 10.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,6,10,12,12,9 - 9,30

Nice golden lager with collapsable white head. Faint mercaptoethanol in aroma(for the biochemists out there, it reminds me of loading buffer!). Rather bland sweet corny malt taste with rather annoying metallic bitterness. In a can. From Australia, via a colleague. Beurk!
