500ml green bottle. Golden colour, small white head. Sweet malty, grassy and skunky aroma. Light-bodied. Malts, grass, notes of skunkyness. Flavour has some Czech pils elements. Green bottle = fail.

Bottle from KCM Jumbo, Vantaa.
Poured clear and light golden in color, white head.
Pale malty, crisp, clean, thirst quencher. Notes of honey in flavor, some grass. Very easy.

500ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a clear gold color with a very large eggshell colored head and great retention. Good lacing. Standard Euro lager aroma. Likewise, standard Euro lager flavor too with only minor sulfer notes. A decent generic lager. Easy drinking. Medium, soft body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e il modo in cui permane. Il cappello di schiuma ha una scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto trasparente. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine medio-fini. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Il tetto della bocca riconosce note di miele, amaretto, frutta secca, erba e cortile.

500 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a thick off-white head and great retention. Very good lacing. Light caramel malt and sulfur aroma. Same light caramel and light sulfur flavors too. Okay, but underwhelming. Needs more flavor and carbonation, and less sulfur. Medium body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Under carbonated. Not bitter.

April 2013: 500 ml can, bought in Denmark. ABV is 4.5%. Dark reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Moderate aroma of caramel and brown bread. Caramel and brown bread in the flavour too, quite nice. Very moderate hops, as normal for the style.
