Bottled. Pours Amber you know. Malty vertebrae. Some hops. Not too bad for a cheapo Aldi 6 packer

Can. Pale gold, frothy white head. Mild grainy aroma with some slight earthy notes. Very light bodied - just nothing before a little tickle of earthy bitterness at the end. A little metallic touch too. More absent than unpleasant.

33cl can from a Megasuper in Costa Rica, drank in California on 4th April 2025 after driving for over 5 hours from Lake Havasu City. Poured into an old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass at my daughters. Clean and bright golden body, small white collar and wisp for a head. Malty/corny, not bad for a cheap supermarket beer and just what I needed as the road trip I had just done.

500ml can from my local LCBO. Wow big aroma of corn, and cooked veggies, with some dry straw. Flavor is quite bitter, and loaded with cheap corn, and grains, wow, this is a mess. Corny, and quite bitter with nasty corny, sweet veggie after taste. drain pour.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso orzo e mais degradato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La carbonazione è morbida e persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sul tetto della bocca si fermano indizi di zucchero caramellato, miele, cereali, frutta secca e pane cotto di recente.

Pours very dark brown, tanned medium sized stable head. Scent is very mild, NA like maltyness. Taste is sweet, NA style maltsyrup under a chocolaty, caramelly heavy sweetness that lingers and gets quite unpleasant. Pear syrup ( poepgelei) comes to mind. Arteficial sugars in the finish ( like Diet coke) . pretty pointless drink, as coca cola has more depth and complexity, hell, it even tastes more natural - why would you consume the (low, but still present) alcohol here ?
