11.2oz bottle. Straw yellow-tan color, thin soapy head. Inoffensive, straightforward Dutch lager in the Heineken tradition, I suppose. Bready non aroma. Doughy malt tones and a light spicy crispness, and then back to light and sugary malt finish. A touch dirty, more macro than bohemian, this is still a decent beer for the price...$8.99 a 12pack.

Can, small fluffy head, deep yellow colour, skunky aroma, biscuity malty aroma, skunk and some quickly dissapearing bitterness and a heavy sweetish feeling, watery aftertaste. Plain lousy.

Refrigerated bottle poured into glass. Pours a pale yellow with almost no head, a little lacing, and very little carbonation. The aroma is light skunk and has a thin body. Taste is corn, metallic and straw. I prefer miller high life if you are going this cheap.

Can. Pours pale gold with a large foamy white head. Sort of a sweet grain aroma. Flavor is grain. Not much hop. A bit papery. Does end detectably bitter. Not recommended.

Found on the bottom shelf of a marché franprix in Paris. Oh boy, another bottom-shelf cheapie! Pours with some head, light gold colour, aroma is wet farts and hay. The taste is like watered-down lemon juice. Vaguely syrupy mouthfeel. Innocuous and uninteresting - but cheap.
