MaltDawg (376), Richmond, Virginia, USA Aug 20, 2008 Clear bottle from local Kroger. Corn and alcohol aroma but not skunked. Clear light straw with small white head. Corny honey malt flavor with some hot alcohol. Light body with dry finish. Not very good.
Gypsy19 (252), AMERICA RISING, USA Oct 28, 2008 A lager with a decent flavor but nothing to write home about. Sort of a Russian Dos Equis, which isn’t saying much. Drinkable, nothing more. Dedoulequeen07 (128), london, Greater London, England Oct 27, 2008 Another yellowy green tinged beer with very little head. AROMA: grainy pale malts, lime ice poles with some bitterness to the END. Very thin little carbonation bready, corn syrup. Uninteresting plae lager. SHIG (1667), Oberoffligen, Germany Sep 28, 2008 Bottle: Poured a clear pale yellow with a froathy head. Aroma is light grass. Taste is corny and grass. ChainGangGuy (1721), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 25, 2008 $2.29 16.9 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: There’s this fun, engaging pull-tab top -- I guess to deliver on the "cooler" promise. Crystal clear, yellow body with a small, white head.
Smell: Somewhat sweet-smelling pale malt nose with faint notes of citrus, drying hay, and, oddly enough, crushed mint leaves.
Taste: Sweet light pale maltiness without being too terribly sweet. Hint of honey for a bear-shaped container. Spoonful of creamed corn. Floral hops with a light, drying bitterness. Tiniest hint of mint. Finishes dry.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Not altogether bad considering it’s one of the Euro Pale Lager horde and, amazingly, it’s free from any skunking. However, you could easily find something comparable and cheaper produced here in the US. MiP (6289), Flensburg, Germany Sep 10, 2008 Clear bottle, 4.7%. Weak citric aroma. Clear yellow colour. Good white head. The flavour is of course mild, starts off with a little hay, turns a bit alcoholic which is surprising. Quite harmless. If it is intended as a flavourless summer beer, it is quite succesful.
