1 liter can. Light sour grape aroma. Light golden yellow color with quick collapsing head. Flavor - barely detectable malt and hops. No bad flavors - hardly any flavor at all. A nonoffensive thirst quencher.

(Bottle 33 cl) A South Korean beer brewed under English license in the Czech Republic - that is indeed a trulu multinational affair. But I’m sorry to say, that in spite of all the effort this is a very, very sad beer. Main flavour is old mushrooms. The czechs should stick to their own quality lagers.

Hazy straw colour. Clean, fresh grain aroma with soft noble hops. Flavour is the same - clean, light bready pale malt character, sweet, with a lightly spicy noble hop finish. Body is moderate for style and carbonation light. Refreshing, an excellent example of a pale lager.

Black. Slight head. Sweet, rich, dark malt aroma with massive depths of plum, raisin, dark chocolate, spices, and plenty of alcohol. The silky body is less complex, sadly, than the aroma. It has chocolate and sweet dark malts, but lacks the fruity density and alcohol kick the aroma told me to expect. It’s drinkable, and overall fairly decent, but lacks the depth and complexity to measure up to the Couragesque aroma. Flavourwise, it’s more on a par with ABC Stout...not the worst thing on Earth but the aroma had me expecting a world classic.

Light golden color, light hoppy nose, sweet malty light body. Weak, don’t bother if you are in Japan.

Dull gold colour. Grainy aroma. Taste is grainy - a little heavy handed in that regard actually. Watery underpinning. Next week I’ll have forgotten I drank this.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, not much of a head. Aroma consists of maize and hops and is pretty bitter. Flavour is made of maize and hints of rice with a bit bitter finish. Dries your mouth. All in all a boring beer.

Straw-golden colour, fluffy white head. Very dry, dusty grains nose; bit of honey aroma. Super dry grains taste, use of enzymes/rice is obvious. Sweet finish, nearly pur malt sugars. Slickness, light body, but not watery, however. Starts dry, gets (quite) sweet and has no aftertaste, dry again. Super ridiculous.

Bottled and brewed in UK (BB 10/2005)
Pale yellow, small white head. Very light corn aroma. Harsh maltyness in the metallic palate. Some late bitterness in the aftertaste. Uninteresting basic lager - not offensive.

Yellow witha bubbly medium lasting head. Has a decent malt aroma that promises much more than the beer can keep. The flavour is extremely thin, mostly water with a hint of malt. Worked OK with my curry though.
