375ml clear bottle. Light gold colour, holds a small white head. Dusty, grainy malt aroma. Flavour is quite grainy, one dimensional. Mineral finish. Dry, light bodied, medium carbonation. Surprised to find that there were no off flavours or skunkiness from the clear bottle, rather what I got was something bland. Tastes pretty industrial /manufactured. Glad I found a single.

Golden, white fizzy head, lively carbonated. Smell of citrus fruit. Taste of unripe pineapples, sour green apples and lemon peel. Fortunately I shared the 375 ml bottle at the second beer session in Tårnrommet 29.01.09, and didn’t have to drink a lot of it.

Bottled 375ml. Appearance: It pours a pale golden beer with a huge white head. poor sticky spotted lacework. Aroma: Glue, sour apples and cardboard appearing. Flavor and palate: A huge amount of old socks, sour apples and vomit showing up. Sweet malty. Metallic. No bitterness and carbonation. Astringent on the swallow. Unplesant finish. Overall impression. This is an extremely poor pale lager. Almost undrinkable.

Bottle - initial pour looks OK, but there is something weird with the head that makes it look plastic, especially as it goes down the glass. No real flavours or arom. Gets really harsh as the chill comes off.

Yobbo beer made to be drunk stone cold and fast - devoid of any real experience, only for the brain dead.

375ml bottle. Looks okay when poured , golden amber in colour with a strip of white foam on top. Bland aroma with nothing at all coming though except hops. Heavy bitter flavour and strong acrid aftertaste.

Aroma of chemicals. Taste of shitty bitter chemicals. Nasty aftertaste of bitter chemicals. Typical shitty CUB swill, but at least it’s cheap and doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.
