Pours a light brown color with a decent tan colored head and a nice retention. The aroma is very weak, hardly picked up, just some basic malty aroma. The taste ois sweet throughout, quite bland withouth any real finish. Drinkable but that’s it. No real taste to it.

Another "exotic" lager. Pours with a typical golden color, not completely clear but almost. The head is average and quickly dying. The aroma is quite gentle, although I could point out some hops and grains (probably rice) as well. The taste is similarly gentle with a slight bitterness (no sweetness here) and with a surprisingly nice bittery aftertaste - not watery. A very nice one, must say.

Brown in the glass, thick white head. The beer starts sweetish-mild. In the mainpart there is a sweet malty note, a bit roasted and kind of sharp. The ending is medium, sweetish-malty, hints of roast and only little bit of hops.
--> for a dark lager, this beer is a bit thin - not in body, but in taste. There are even hints of the alcohol, which is at 6.5% unusual and no sign of quality… --> 10/9/7/7
