Bottle. Pour looks an awful lot like an uninteresting lager. Smells about the same... grassy, skunky hops, blah, blah, blah. Flavor is fairly grainy... kind of like grain dust with a corn/rice sweetness. Given the grassy/skunky nose, I expected a Heineken-like hops presence, but I can’t find it. Could be worse, could be better.

33 cL bottle. Pours pale and clear yellow with a lacing white head. Mouldy and slight cardboardish aroma. Flavour is vegetable, cornish and somewhat dry. Finish is along the same line.

Bottle. Served at a local Indian restaurant. Light, sweet, kind of sweet and corny. Sour-applish taste at the end. Pretty crappy beer list at this place overall, so this wasn’t all that horrible for what was available. Good thing the food rocks.
Update... if anyone sees this rating so much later. The restaurant in question, Milan on Route 29, was busted stealing their employees’ tips, forcing them to work overtime without compensation, etc. The beer list isn’t the only thing about that place that stinks.

650 ml. brown bottle. Grassy hop aroma. Bright golden color; decent white head. Thin to medium bodied, rather fizzy/creamy carbonation. Pale malt with a herby/papery aspect (yeast?). Not too bitter, but more so than American macros. The bitter tends to build in the mouth like a pilsner, and the different flavor note is thereby cleansed away. For a pale lager it is good. I would say it is not corny. Pales with respect to ales, but ...

bottle - Pours clear yellow with a medium sized head and a light cereal malt aroma. The flavor is mostly grainy malt with a little hops. It’s watery and weak. The glowing commercial description calls it "the only truly royal beer". They’ve got to be kidding. If I were the king and this beer is what the royal brewmaster brought me, heads would roll!

Aroma of light crystal malt, no detectable hop, maybe some adjunct. Light gold color with a so-so white head. Rather thin bodied. A touch over carbonated. The flavor is something citrus and malt. The finish is fairly dry, but there is more of a citrus sour than a bitter. Probably good for washing down food.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a medium frothy white head. This one has a strong corn and bread aroma. The taste is bitter malt and very watery finish with nice lacing that stays. Not too much going on with this one.

Hay aroma. Yellow color no head. Bitter honey taste. Finish is sour lemon and pepper and biting. Finish takes on a more hoppy quality during warming.
