500ml can, 5% a/v Pours a mellow amber colour with a tight white head. Smells of corn and grain, with a taste that is crisp and hoppy in the aftertaste. Nice beer, very similar to all similar beers ive had mind you.

Pours dark golden yellow with light white head. Aroma of skunk, grains and hop with a sweet malt component. Flavor is quite carbonated with an interesting mix of sweet and bitter notes. Dry bitter hop finish.

Pours pale gold, short-lived head, little bit of lace. Aromas of grapefruity hops, herbs, grain and maltose. Flavor is pure German pils lots of hops, citrus, earth, green hay and a surprising malt finish. Mouth feel good, if somewhat fizzy. Refreshing and dry, with little aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Bubbling pale golden hue. Small non-lingering white head. Oily, skunky, hop nose. Grainy, yet almost sweet malt aroma. Lively and effervescent. Somewhat bitter, yet with a sweet creamy flavor. Caramel malt note. Slight corn taste. Skunky, bitter dry hop finish.

Grassy and dry, pretty easy to drink to quickly, thirst quenching, typical fare, but still good.

Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of grass, cheerios, and some hops. Flavor is typical pilsner, not a lot of hops, a nice smooth taste.

Pours a golden color. Lots of carbination, but a quick dissapating head. Very crisp, the carbination is more in line with a Coke, but it is refreshing. I sensed no bitter hoppy aftertaste. Aside of the carbination, I found this no different than your standard Budweiser or Labatt Blue. While you will look different drinking this out of a bottle in a bar or with friends, taste and smell wise, it is no different from many of the other macro-brews available throughout America.
