Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits and a bit of roasted malt. The flavor is extremely sweet and very artificial and some caramel. Too artificial.

-1 point for the clear PLASTIC bottle! Virtually no head over old-golden beer, totally clear. Corn, cornflakes, sweet, cornsyrup, some honey, some dishwater. More corn in the taste; sweet, German-tasting malts, ends on a spritzy, herbal, liquorice note. Bit fizzy, medium bodied at best. The finish is nice, intriguing, reviving. But it cannot save completely an otherwise mediocre beer.

Can, 5%. Clear yellow colour. The flavour has a little sweetness, not as dry as many other lagers. Otherwise like a lot other lagers.
