Typical European lager, light malts, touch of grass, water. Flavor is watery malts, light touch of hops. Inoffensive and just fine for the masses.

Left over 500ml can found in the fridge where I stayed in St Andrews. “Empty it” was the message. Pours a golden body topped by an one-finger, white head leaving fragile laceworks on the glass. This is a pale lager with little aroma and taste. Some lemony hints can be spotted with a bit a harsh acid flavoured water. Watery in the mouth. Little more than brief notes of refreshments [07.11.2008].
