330mL can, pours a clear piss yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out cheap corn, standard macro adjuncts. Flavour is inoffesnive enough, with cheap corn and straw. No skunkiness or anything, but maybe because it's ice cold. It's a tick.

(Bottle) Clear yellow amber, no head. Cardboard, straw aroma. Fizzy with a slight stickiness. Sweet start, but sugary not malty. Something faint and aromatic appears in the mid-palate. There’s a slight but harsh bitterness in the finish. It’s pretty bad, but drinkable.

355ml bottle. Clear golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma: sweet malt, grains, syrup. Taste: same as the aroma, fairly sweet malt, that’s about it. Light body, average carbonation. Standard stuff, ok for the country rate and/or drinking with spicy food.

Pours clear gold from the bottle. The thin white head fizzes and immediately fades. Aroma is syrupy sweet, grainy, and ladened with touches of tea and trash can. Taste is sweet with a noticeable dose of lime. Body is overall light, well carbonated, and even a touch watery. Overall the beer has a sort of empty, nondescript character. Drink it with food, if you must.

Gift can, thanks K. Airo. Smell of starch. Very pale golden colour, foamy white head. Aroma of starch, paper, some malt. Artificial flavour. Mildly sweet. Soft, plentiful carbon. Light body. Basic bulk lager, and not a good one at that. Only good part is that there are no stinging / faulty aromas.
