Bottled. Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma is maize, some rubber as well as some vegetable notes. Flavour is wood, some maize, mild rubber, some slight malts, vegetables and some herbal notes. Quite harsh "rubbery" aftertaste along with the maize and vegetables.

Shared 330 ml can, at local tasting. ABV is 5.1%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Minimal aroma, hints of grassy and citrussy hops, not unpleasant though. Fairly "clean" and neutral pale lager flavour, a hint of citrus, noticeable hops. Not as bad as I feared.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Brewed and bottled in Lagos. Flavoursome aromatic lager. A cut above lots of lagers.

06/03 0.33 l can. Oh, I almost though I didn’t write down rating for this one when I saw it in Doggythedog’s rating just by Star lager we had several beers before this. Additionally, I wrote down the name "Gulder the ultimate beer KREFELD hell yeah" with messy handwriting that was quite hard to decipher after some 35 beers that day.
Anyway, it poured yellow body with big head. Pretty dusty lemony and flowery aroma. Sweetish grainy flavor, unclean again with notable corn and slight lemony hops. Medium in body with sweet, slightly acidic corny finish. Not so awfully bad, but let’s move on...

06/03 0.33 l can from Asian store somewhere in Mitte Berlin. It poured golden body with medium sized head. Weaker grainy and corny aroma. Lemony and grainy flavor, pretty watery and somewhat dusty. Thin body with shorter acidic and slightly sweet finish. Nothing too bad or unpleasant but so bland. Wow, I really "missed" those true pale lagers here around.
