Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2013. Clear yellow to gold color, slight white head. Smell and taste malts, grains, sugar and the slightest bitter hint. Low body, low to medium carbonation.

Golden colour, dissipating white head. Malty aroma, adjunct and cardboard. Sweet flavour, very, very light bitter touch. Quite light bodied. Sweet, light bitter finish.
Bit of a mess, honestly.
(From 25cL bottle. Thanks Esther and Ad, for bringing it!)

clear pale golden colour with a small white head; faint sweetish aroma; balanced flavour; simple and inoffensive but not exciting

Sample at Kurt’s 49th birthday party. Bottle brought back by a friend who visited Cape Verde. The beer is a clear yellow-gold color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of mild hops and malt. Light body with a grainy malt character and light hops behind it. The finish is short with a mildly bitter grassy hops aftertaste. Pretty much like every other Pale Lager out there.

Bottled (thanks Lasse Grönroos!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, sweet malts, some grains and mild metallic and vegetably notes. Flavour is grass, grains, cardboard, some sweetish notes as well as mild metallicness. Fresh bottle, but still didn’t feel fresh at all.

Little cloudy yellow beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Small particles floating around in the beer. Aroma: pretty sweet, if anything. Very faint. MF: light caron, light body. Taste: little sweet, faintly hoppy. Aftertaste: citrus and a bit dry finish. Not undrinkable, but very low in flavours.

Bottled (thanks to the mighty Lasse Grönrooos!). Dark amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is sweet malts, some grass, and mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is sweet dark fruity notes with some toast and mild raisins. A bit thin, but quite good dark beer.

Bottled (thanks to the mightly Lasse Grönroos of The Dogshit Boys and Trashcan Dance!). Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma is glue, harsh grains, and stinging alcohol. Flavour is harsh alcoholic, mild polishing fluids and harsh sweetness.
