473ml can. Pours a crystal clear amber with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready pale malt, red apple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, corn, red apple, sugar and floral hops in a sweet finish. Medium body with a sticky, syrupy texture and average to soft carbonation. Not terrible, but too sweet for me.

Bigly white foam on a well carbonated pale yellow body. Smells somewhere between corn, nail polish remover, and an old gas pump. The attendant has that oil soaked rag, you're eating corn chips, someone in the area is smoking a cigarette. The hitchhiker in the back seat cracks open a beer and dumps it all over the floor. All of that, yes, it's all here.

On tap at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. Medium clear gold body and modest foam. Soft corn and bitter hops on the nose, slightly sweet. Taste is more sweet corn, lingering sugar, slightly cloying chemical notes. Okay carbonation. Palatable macro fare.

Can. Has a nice amber-brown colour. Some particulate floating in it, though. I wouldn't have expected that from this beer/brewery, but ok. The nose leads with caramel. On the palate, it's more towards toffee, but light. Fairly light body, but just enough residual sugar. I mean, it's industrial, like Warsteiner Dark or something, so not the sort of dunkel I'd get excited about, but you'd find random beers like this in most kiosks or getrankemarkt in Germany.

Rating #6666 - what better way to celebrate than with a cheap bargain basement lager? Pours a clear and clean gold with okay white foam, smells of wet grain doused in nail polish remover but nothing too excessive. Flavour is a harsh mix of caramel and cardboard. Dry finish, alcohol is reasonably well hidden. Leaves a film of wax on the tongue. Drank chilled it's not awful but this is nothing you'd want to savour. Chewy and fake but there are far worse cheap strong lagers out there.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a small, creamy, short lived, white head that laces. Faint aroma of grainy pale malt, apple and corn. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, overripe apple and corn in a sweet, almost cloying finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Not offensive, it's refreshing and easy to drink, just bland and boring.
