Can from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - very pale, golden yellow. Huge fluffy snow white head. Nose - pine, lemon and light caramel. Taste - dry plant stalk notes, lemon too. Palate - light bodied, dry through middle and finish. Overall - pretty dry, but not bad. Would be good on a hot day.

Can from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden amber with a very light haze. Nicely proportioned, slightly off white head. Nose - orange with just a hint of biscuit. Taste - brown bread. Orange again. Palate - light astringency on the finish, after what seems to be a light bodied and fairly balanced beer. Overall - decent.
