Can: Poured a golden yellow color pilsner with a quite large bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of floral hops is enjoyable. Taste of malt is semi sweet with some subtle floral hops and a slightly bitter finish. This is a well-done and refreshing pilsner but really lacks character to make it truly enjoyable.

Light on hops for a Pilsner. Medium palate feel. Part of a World Market variety pack.

Pale gold with lots of sticky white head. Downhill from there. Little aroma. Most prominent feature is the thick, oily mouthfeel. Very little taste. Sweet - no bitterness at all. It doesn’t taste bad; there’s just nothing good about it.

Bottle. Pale beer with a light white head. The aroma is yeasty and dry and the flavour is mild, dry and yeasty. Overall a reasonable beer.

Crystal-clear, pale gold lager with a smooth maltiness. Some clumping and lacework out of a can. But becoming lifeless and sour after a dozen swigs or so.

Pours a translucent golden with a foamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma of sweet malts and a little fruity with some grass. Flavor also had a malty sweetness, typical German Pils.

Picked up in Morrisons Banbury recently. Pale golden in colour, white foamy head. Yeasty, malty aroma, which then moved to a very crisp and refreshing tasting beer although hardly exciting and a bit safe, which is fine if you want to drink a reasonable beer without having to think much about it.

I tried this a few years ago and took a liking to it, so I was pleased to find it on the shelves of my local Morrisons. Either it’s changed, or my palate has...but this was a big disappointment, it lacks on most fronts, aroma, flavour, body and palate.
