Mild sweet and lightly fruity aroma. Clear golden body is topped by a thin white head that recedes to partial cover and ring. Mildly toasty malts are fairly sweet with moderate finishing bitterness. Light and watery texture with moderate carbonation. Sampled on draught at Regency Garage/Delford Drug in Bath, UK (May-06).

Poured from the can (as part of a blind lager tast test - probably my worst drinking night ever). Pale straw, fizzy and a frothy white head. A little more malty and caramal than other lagers, but the aftertaste is not pleasant. (For the record, and not surprisingly, I got only 1/6).

Dark yellow colored, little white head. Sweetness, citrus and fruits in aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Sweetness and citrus also in flavor, aftertaste is short with mild hops and citrus.

Yes, outstanding. Was out with a friend in St Andrews over the weekend and he came down with a pint of this. Corn and nothingness dominate all sence of the drink.

Pale gold with a good white head. Aroma was oddly earthy. Maybe compost. First impression in the mouth is that this is quite tasty, but the flavour magically evaporates almost immediately leaving scarcely a trace behind. I would recommend this to someone who wanted to drink a beer but didn’t like the taste of beer.

Pale gold color. Almost straw-like. Low malt flavor and bitterness. Not enough of either.
