Dull gold, with light malts and a hint of diacetyl on the nose. Similar taste, light body.

Light gold colour. They put a lmone in it and that is mostly what I smell. The lemon overrides what it otherwise a sweet, honeyish taste with biscuity notes.

Light amber colour. Fairly full malt aroma with a light honeyish sweetness and a biscuity note. Clean, sweet, with some deliberate toasty notes.

Deep blond color, poor head. Mild aroma of cereals, a bit grassy. Medium body, with some malt flavor, a strange scent of Fragola grape, light cereals; in the final there is a light residual sweetness, moderate bitterness, not much of the promised Saaz hopping. Strange, and it reminds me some Japanese beer, even if I had too few; not bad.

Golden color, not much head. Fresh bottle, but aroma is rotten vegetables. Sweetish malty with ashy and grassy hops. Almost sugary flavor. This bottled products are all really bad, hopefully on draught they are better.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Pale golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is hay, rubber and earth. Flavour is egg, hay, rubber and some very dull stuff. Not pleasant at all.

Clear amber color, not much head. Pear and lime in the nose. Grassy, a bit caramelly, very odd beer - English bitter? No.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is earth, some mild fruity and parfume. Flavour is grass, some not sweet caramel and very malty. Also some salt watery hints. Quite strange, and not too nice.

Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma is like in any of those beers "with lime" - artifical lime added. Artifical lime flavor, very sugary, not very beer like. To be avoided.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Yellow colour, not much head. Aroma is bigtime lime. Flavour is lemon along with "energy drink". Probably first "energy drink beer" for me. Quite refresing though.
