Sample, huge thanks to Grumbo for this. Misty gold appearance, thin white head. Aroma brings corn, sweet malt. Continues into the sweeter side, with additional corn and mild fruity notes. Not bad actually.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of sweet malt, grains, fruity & grassy. Taste is sweet malty, corn grain, with some cardboardy bitterness. Medium bodied, high carbonation, dry papery bitter finish. Kind of OK

15/11/2022. Can bought at Casino supermarche, Geant Sainte Marie, Noumea. Brewed under licence at Le Froid. Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, citrus, grass, a little orange and marzipan. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Actually quite nice and for me better than Le Froid’s Manta beers.

Many thanks to Nisse666 for this sample! Malty nose. The beer starts grainy with mild moderate parts. Nice hints of grainy malt, sessionable, round and smooth with hints of darker malts. Nice for a Pale Lager.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. 4.8%. Thanks to bitterlady. Nose is tinned vegetables and cardboard which dies down to just tin. Pale yellow beer, low carbonation, solid white head which sticks around and laces a bit. Full bodied, spritzy, and lightly malty. Finish is distant doughnut with some tinny bitterness. Not bad.

330ml can into schooner glass, courtesy of Bitterlady. Smells like burnt cardboard and stale bread. Crystal clear golden amber with thin white head. Lightly carbonated. Medium body, taste is mildly bitter, slight zing. Finish is bubblegum sweet turning to a lingering maltiness. Probably too sweet to be really easy-drinking but ice cold in Port Vila, it will do the job. Gets more vegetal as it warms.

330ml bottle. Pours like a lager. Aroma is bad. Sugar and overcooked vegetables. Taste is actually ok. Quite sweet, little toast and a little fruitiness. You start to notice the strength as it warms. Not great, but pleasantly surprised.
