Pours light yellow with a diminutive head. Weak malt flavours, a little salty. Nothing exciting here. This beer is not bad, it’s just ordinary.

Clear pale orange with lots of fizzy bubbles. Some dry lemons in the aroma, which also shows as some acidity in the flavour. A little sweetness but mostly dry. Fizzy in the mouth with a meddium body. A bit like a beer soft-drink, with the carbonation seeming artificially added.

(Canned) Colour is golden yellow, with a big frothy head, disappearing a bit too quick. Nose is malty and fresh, with detectable hints of grassy hops. Taste is malty, bready with a soft, balanced, grassy bitterness in the finish. Fairly dry, smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Refreshing and well-made, but hardly exciting. A bit middle-of-the-road-ish. As stated, not really exciting, but I could have more than one on a sunny summer afternoon.

(05.13.06) Sampled at DiCarlo’s Spring beer tasting event. Bottle. Poured clear golden yellow with large white head. Good carbonation. Shunky grassy aroma. Light bodied Dortmunder that starts dry with malt and corn flavors. Finished dry with light malt fade and light bitterness. A decent drinkable lager.

Can, 33cl. This one has an aroma that tries to resemble the freshness of hops, but it just doesn’t quite get there. Rubber maybe? The taste is quite good, with some fruity notes which get emphasized in the finish. I wouldn’t buy this again at home, but I wouldn’t mind drinking it at all.

Pours bright yellow into a shaker. Significant creamy, microbubble head billows above the glass. Skunky. Thin and almost without flavor -- but also without any bad flavor (and that’s a difference). Medium, dry finish. Would be quite refreshing on a warm day...

pale yellow colour, aroma is a bit sweet, almost a spicy sweet, almost no flavor, strong carbonation, very uneventful brew.
