Pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of DMS, raw grain, herbal hops and probably a light struck note. Sweet malty and herbal flavour with medium bitterness

Consumed straight from the can while my band was playing a house show in Chicago, IL. Not very good, tasted metallic and like any traditional low grade lager.

Bottle. Orangish gold with a white head. Grainy aroma with a quite blunt grassy hop note. Mild grainy sweetness, a little vague sourness and fairly crude bitterness. Some spice at the end. Not very good, but it’s rough rather than bland.

500 ml can, bought in Spain. ABV is 5%. Crystal clear pale golden colour, big white head. Sweetish and grassy aroma, some floral notes too. The flavour has a very moderate malty sweetness, with a tolerable hoppy bitterness throughout. Not exceptional, but decent.

500ml bottle at Ship & Mitre Liverpool. Ok so it was several degrees below zero outside and I had to wear my coat in the pub it was that cold and my hands were frozen so probably not great conditions to drink German lager. But the fest was on and there were 9 beers that I needed. Clear gold with a thick white head. Some sweet cereal on aroma. Its ok. Not knocking anyone out but Ive had worse. Only a touch of newspaper on aroma but the lemon on the finish is fine. Some sweet pale malt. Quite likeable I thought. Oh and like all half decent lager it is stupidly drinkable.
