Pale golden in the glass, strange herbal smell. The beer starts a bit grainy-sweet, lager typical. The mainpart gets more intense, a bit malty with slightly bitterness. The aftertaste is medium to long, grain, malty-sweetness, slightly bitter and a bit herbal-like.
--> not a bad beer. Much more flavour than expected. But especially in the end a bit unround.
--> 7/10/8/7

A couple of 355 ml. bottles at local Vietnamese restaurant. Clear, golden colour with a big, frothy head, that faded fast. Sweet aroma with pale malts, grasses, grains and light hints of lemongrass - perhaps an influence from the food. Taste is sweet. Light to medium body with a thinner texture, lively carbonation. Short, mildly bitter finish with grasses and pale malts. Worked OK with the spicy Vietnamese food I had.

Fizzy, clear gold with a soapy white head.... Grain malt, lemon aroma. Taste is grain, a little rice-ness.... Sweet. Honestly? Not that bad.

It’s not bad or filthy, but this beer barely has any taste. Just water with a small note of beer.

16/VII/13 - 355ml bottle @ home - BB: 28/XII/13, bottled or produced: 28/XII/12 (2013-643) Thanks to Mattie for this nice country tick!

Clear golden beer, irregular fizzy off-white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: very sweet and sugary, corn syrup, little fruity, hint of banana. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: very sweet and sugary, some citrus, herbal bitterness. Aftertaste: bitter hops, bit citric, lemony. Not disgusting. But that's about it, then.
