Bottle. Clear golden with a medium white head. Quite sweet malty aroma. Weak and watery taste. One of those fantastic pale lagers...

Pours very dark brown with copper highlights and a small tan creamy head.Soft, sweet aroma of roasted barley, tar, and faint hints of cocoa. Other than that, very clean.First up in the flavour department is some toasty and bready sweet malt, before a moderately roasty note kicks in along with some chocolate hints, with support the gently bitter finish.Carbonation is much too high, and the body is very watery.

Bottle thanks to angrypirate06 (despite what he says). Pours with a white head and a pale golden body. Aroma of sweetness, rice, and not much else. Taste is sweet, grainy and tons of adjuncts. Super corn and rice soup. Fizzy and dry.

International lager, the best you can say about this beer is that it is dry, very dry!

I finally had this beer and was actually pleasantly surprised. Clear golden color with foamy white head. Somewhat sweet smell; smells like beer, way better than macro-US lager. Taste is pretty good. A modicum of hops. Nice dry mouthfeel. A little bit of sweetness in there as well. Better than I thought it was going to be.

Pours a pale yellow. Thin body, weak hops and grain flavour. Extremely overrated generic pale lager.
