12 ounce bottle courtesy of daknole. Thanks! Pours a medium amber color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet honeyish malts. Taste is bitter, grassy hops, honey and some grapelike fruit notes, as well as something a bit acrid. Thin bodied and watery.

Bottle as shown. Pours a copper color with a medium off white head that lasts awhile leaving behind decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a corn malt and honey. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery on the palate with a metallic grain taste. Not too much going on with this pale lager from GEB.

Bottle. Poured orange gold with thin white head. Little lacing. Strong aroma of banana. Thin flavour with malt, metal and hop notes. Lasting hot finish, not alcohol, not pepper, but like a too hot soup. Slightly below commonplace.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with no head at all. Aroma of skunk, pale malt, light low a.a. hops and some caster sugar. Light-bodied; Light lemon taste with a small maltiness and a very subtle hoppiness. Aftertaste quick and sharp - some citrus, but mostly bitter malt. Overall, not the worst lager, but its easier to pick out off-flavours than ’on’ flavours. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 28-May-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

330ml bottle from Sainsburys. It’s been summed up 100% accurately below. Easy, unrewarding drinking straight from the fridge but, as the bottle warmed up, the maize sweetness and tired hops started to annoy. Not a beer I would rush to drink again.

Bottle 33cl: golden yellow with a large white head but it dissapears in a few seconds. Poor aroma and flavour. A beer that you can drink if the day is hot.
