Can from Lidl. I didn't mind this one, better than I thought it would be. Clear gold, fading small white head. Sweet grainy malts, reasonable crispness with a hoppy bitterness. Balanced and the corn syrup taste kept to a minimum for a macro lager. Light bodied but far from watery, a bit too carbonated.
