Bottle, 3.5%. Pale yelllow colour. Small white head. Mild flavour, a little hay and light biscuity malts. Light bitterness, slightly rough. A very light beer.

500 ml bottle. Quickly diminishing big white head. Clear, deep golden color. Aroma of light sourish bread, followed by a scent of honey and some floral notes. Rather sweet-flavored. A little malts, a touch of citrus and a decent amount of bittering hops. Feels quite watered down in the mouth. Skinny body. Short, bitterish ending. A thin, but decent lager.

Bottle. Yellow colour with a white head. Very thin on the nose - a hint of the hops. The flavour has some malty caramel notes and a small, boring and a bit metallic bitterness.

AVerage light lager with very little flavor and aroma. There are hints of malt and hay, not much else.

A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and honey. The flavor is sweet malty with a dry bitter and cardboardy finish. The body is no wonder thin.

Bottle from a border supermarket. Rather malty and grainy, some flowers, too. Dusty hops. This does not work too well, making a limp beer despite decent carbonation. But it is OK, and it is very positive that there are brewers that tey to make 3.5 lagers with a little character.

Bottle. Yellow colour with a white head. Light grainy aroma. Tasted good at first but it went downwards.
