Yellow color, small white head. Aroma of old socks, ash, malts and vegetables. Malty, grassy, hints of spinach. Light to medium bodied. Light palate. Boring plain lager.

Can. Light yellow colour with white head. Aroma has a hint of sour rag. Flavour is not too bad, some residual sugar. Low carbonation for a pilsner, which I consider a plus. Aftertaste has a little bitterness.

A pitch black beer with a small brown head. The aroma is weird, sour, but sweet with notes of caramel and chocolate, but also some spice I can’t put a name on. The flavor is of milk and chocolate and the mouthfeel is quite dry.

This lager pours a clear light yellow colour with a bright white frothy head. Light aroma of corn and citrus with a little malt and some slight yeasty notes. First sip was a little sour to start then ended up bitter till the finish. The medium palate had lingering bitters and really went off to nothing. Very boring beer.

A golden beer with a nice head - though fast disappearing. The aroma is fresh and dominated by hops but also with malt notes. The taste is primarily refreshing - with a nice malt sweetness and a slight bitterness - a well balanced beer and great for a lager.

Aroma to the sweet side. Golden, crappy head. Thin body, forgettable taste.
