Looks like standard megaswill lager. Tastes a little better, though. Quite malty, but not very bitter.

Nut-brown colour, nice white head. Malty, slightly roasted aroma. Nice, quite malty and roasted flavour. I dont recognize the metallic taste that others mention. Very pleasant beer.

Amber color, brown hue; poor head. Light, strange aroma, with some caramel. Some sweetness, a lot of charamel and a terrible lack of character (but not of strength).

Very little, dark head; colour of hazy cola. Alcoholic nose, bready-yeasty, with a herbal-peppery finish - indeed a bit like Coca-Cola. Very bready and sweet taste, ending in a herbal, very slightly bitterish flavour. Alcohol is obvious. Palate is fruity, sweet apples or plums. Full-bodied, warming effect, but not really chewy, texture is thinner. However tilted towards the sweet, this beer has a certain balance. It is not brilliant, but impresses because of its straightforwardness.

Colour of pale Cola; light brownish head. Bready nose, and something herbal/spicey - maybe bay-leaf, but much sweeter. Maybe more to the point: sweet woodruff. Bit bitterish-herbal taste, going over immediately into sweeter bread/malt-like flavours, to end with a metallic-hopflavour retronasal. Sweet flowery flavour, like the small yellow duneflowers. Thinnish mouthfeel, emphasizd by the metallic palate. The nectarish flour flavour is good. For the rest it ain't exactly top. OK if you happen to find it.

Paid $2.50 for a pintish bottle. Very pale yellow, with a huge white fluffy head. A tiny bit grassy in the nose, with maybe hints of banana?? Not sure. Plain, a bit bitter in the mouth, with no defined flavor. Not entirely drinkable, because it lacks a lot of flavor, but... I'm not pouring it out either.

Paid $2.50 for a pint bottle. Strange color- almost purplish (but I guess it's brown with strange hilights). Great, fluffy head! Sweetish alcohol smell. Very earthy taste, almost dirty- a hint of grassy bitterness, but also kinda lacks a defined flavor. Ehh.. nothing special here, pass on this one.

Paid $2.50 for a pintish bottle. Very plain golden, with a small, but frothy white head. Not much of a smell, but what's there is typical grassy. No surprises here. Earthy, leafty, grassy, and dirty tasting. Not my cup of tea, but it has little to no aftertaste. Nice mouth... fizzy, poppy, smooth. Best thing about this beer.
