Okay somewhat creamy foam on a clear gold body, vague sweet bread on the nose. Flavour is grain and booze, adjuncts galore, all this in only four point seven percent. Seriously - badly brewed and awful in every respect, harshness like this should be rewarded with a huge alcohol hit of at least ten percent but you don't even get that.

Smells of skunk cabbage and marijuana, has barely any foam and clear gold body with no carbonation. Flavour is sugar, cardboard, and water. Mouthfeel is way too watery. I'm out of ideas on how this might even be considered a refreshing beverage in a hot climate - it's just substandard on all levels.

8.5 oz. bottle purchased in Barbados. 4.6% ABV. Pours a clear light gold color with a white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Light Euro lager aroma. Sweet Euro lager flavor to match the nose. A little skunk. Nothing bad.
