clear golden color and an ok looking white head. No need to describe it, as there is a picture of it right over yonder. Mild aroma. Thin beer, without much flavor. Mostly just a sugary smoothness. Tastes like a dortmunder, but here is nothing special at all about it. I wouldn’t mind having one though a lot of the time.

Pours a light golden with plenty of tiny bubbles and a medium white foam on top. Grassy aroma, with a bit of a perfume edge, some flowers and very lightly bready. First taste is very bready with a good amount of sugar... why isn’t this cold??? O NO! I’ve inadvertently unplugged my beer fridge... rats! Flavor continues with a bit of corn and floral hops. A tad too perfumy, which I know isn’t as annoying when this lager is chilled. Medium/light body with fine sparkling carbonation. I love this style and this isn’t a terrible example, not very clean though... which is something you really want in a good lager.

Overall, not bad. Had in 500 ml can. Roma of grains, and overall plainness. Appearance is okay. Not an amazing looking beer. Pale yellow colour with a finger or two of white head. Taste is pretty plain floral hops and mild malts. Overall, a plain unexciting beer.

Can. Clear pale yellow colour. Aroma of grains and cardboard, which indeed also is present in the flavour. Watery mouthfeel. Boring.

Clear yellow appearance with a small white head. Sweet buttery aroma of yeast and malt, some moderated floral hop. Avarage body with a moderated carbonation, sweet malt and bottom fermentation yeast, bitter finish.
