Can. Spicy hop nose, English, some caramel. Copper brown with a big head. Spicy hops, some citrus, malty, bready, not too sweet. Decent enough. Better than the golden Criso, well carbonated. Won’t be looking for another.

Can from seven 11. Sugary, malty nose with some lemon and orange. Lame. Clear gold, medium head. Malty, candy, sweet and simple. Not horrible but boring as can be.

Can from Seven-11. Finally someone at Asahi learned what the Reinheitsgebot is. No rice in this one. Nose is slightly corny despite being all-malt and low in hops. Slightly herbal and citrus. Grainy, but not in an interesting way. Flavor also is sweet, sweet, slightly syrupy with a touch of corn. WFT? No where near as good as the adjunct-laden Bohemian Pilsner in this series. Heavy, sweet, boring. I guess they should stick to using corn and rice, because without it, they get this mess.

Can from Seven-11. Asahi does it again: A Bohemian pilsner with rice and corn starch eh? Rather pale in color, clear, nice, tall, foamy head. Nose is mild Saaz hops, citrus, herbs, and ok malt but nothing like the richness you expect in a Bohemian pilsner. Flavor comes close in mimicking something Czech, though. It is slightly bready, almost biscuity, and not bad. Like an Urquel (which Asahi now owns) without the skunk and diacetyl. Also without the body. The hops are nice, though, with a good, prickly, peppery finish. I would drink this again, though it isn't that special.

Bottle. Pale gold body with thin fast disappearing head. Grainy and grassy aroma, rather faint. Thin, very thin body with a little hop. No finish. I cannot understand beer deliberately without a finish.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Keg at Swan, Farnborough. Sweet if musty aroma. Light gold. Bubbly. Thin translucent white head. It has a crispness to it which caps off the saccharine sweetness before it can ruin proceedings. Light. Thin. Fizzy-soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Could be worse. Would choose over sweeter more saccharine industrial stuff.

Was das "Dry" zu bedeuten hat, versehe ich nicht ganz, vielleicht will man hinweisen, dass es etwas herber ist als ein einfaches Helles. Dadurch gewinnt es zwar an Süffigkeit, ist mir aber trotzdem zu fade. Kann man zwar trinken; es gibt aber auch hier besseres.

Can from Yamaya. Lemony, berries, sweet malt. Sweet, fruity, thin, malty and a bit of corn. Overly sweet, hops are fruity and interesting but not so great.
