500 ml. bottle. Pours a fluffy white head with extensive lacing, over a clear yellow (SRM 3) body....nose is mild malts, sweet corn....taste is sweet throughout, with minimal malt, minimal hops....mouth feel is light, carbonation high. This meets its insipid style quite well, and is almost undrinkable. The drain got the rest.

Review from Feb 2007
Poured out a clear mild yellow brew with a small, foamy white cap with little retention. Smells oh so not wonderful: no lack of corn and sweetness from the bready malts. The taste wasn’t that and I pretty much chugged this back asap. Sweet mild bread, grains, some fruit as well. Bubbly in my mouth, finishes sweet but not short. It’s getting hard to keep buying these beers...

(Can. Thanks to SaintMatty) Golden yellow colour with brief, frothy, white head. Malty nose with bread and tropical fruit. Malty, slightly sourish taste with noets of bread, pineapple, tropical fruit. Medium body, fairly sweet. Some grassy bitterness in the finish (eventually overshadowed by sweet malt). Better balance than the Luksus sampled at the same time, still not very impressive.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow body. Aroma is skunk. Taste is totally offensive. Really horrible.

Bottle. I don’t know how many ounces this is. Pours extremely light yellow, I don’t even know if I can call it yellow, perhaps white is a better descriptor. Certainly one of the palest colored beers I’ve ever seen. A small compact white head sits on top. Aroma is sweet and malty, slight candy as well. Somewhat beery but certainly better than typical American macros. Flavor is dry and malty with a quick finish. Not too much going on flavor-wise though this isn’t really bad. Boring but not horrible.

liked this one, pouring into a darkish gold colour with a short-lived foamy white head and very little lacing. Aroma was "hop over malt", and the taste seemed to offer even more malt. Smooth and refreshing. FYI, the back label says mine was produced in 26 October 2004, and I bought it 17 June 2005 in Toronto.

500ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours golden with a short lived head. Taste and aroma is typical eurolager. Not great.
