Clear yellow with a thick white head. Light malt aroma with some wet dog. Very clean with a mild malt flavor and a small bitter finish. On the watery side. Not bad but not great.

(16.9 oz bottle: $2 at Wine Time in La Jolla, CA) There’s just something visually appealing to a yellow, crystal clear beer, topped by a large white head, with an army of carbonation bubbles rising through the beer. Independent of what the beer smells and tastes like, it’s at least pretty to look at. Unfortunately, that’s the end of my praise for this beer. The nose is dry and grassy. Dry, grassy, lightly grainy flavor shows mild bitterness. There’s some cardboard flavor going on here, but it’s not overwhelming. Light bodied with a fairly well carbonated mouthfeel, zesty enough to break up what might be an awful aftertaste. Not a very enjoyable beer, but it’s not among the worst either. Maybe on par with BMCs, but it’s been awhile since I’ve had one of those.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pale with a pretty full and creamy head. Faint hoppy aroma and a discreet bitterness. Otherwise completely anonymous. 090704

(Can) Pale golden colour with a small thin white head. Malty aroma with some grain and a light sweetness. Flavor is malty with hints of a fruity sweetness.

drinkable, but pedestrian and had a metallicness to it that borders on heineken like annoying. Citrus and pils helps to redeem it some, but not enough.

Rated blind. Clear golden-yellow body with a clean, sudsy white head. Mild aroma and flavor with light lemony citrus and a hint of pils malt. Crisp, clean and very refreshing on a hot day. Nice summer beer.

Bottle. Pours yellow with a small fizzy white head. It dissipates fairly quickly. Nose has an odd fruitiness to it along with strong graininess, light grass notes and bready notes. Taste is sweet and grainy with lighter fruit notes. Light bitterness and some grassy notes. Body is relatively light and refreshing with moderate carbonation feel. Finish is grainy and grassy with light bready notes (sourdough) and fading fruitiness. Not bad!
