CelticBrew (417), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA May 11, 2008 Pours from 12 oz bottle a golden colored lager with a decent white head. The aroma is typical lager skunk against a delicate sweetness. The flavour is actually quite decent, however it is very typical. Some hoppiness and balancing malts noted. Crisp, clean drinkable, like the vast majority of mass-produced pale lagers. Another triumph of marketing and market power over content. The swingtop bottles give it a novelty factor that has earned it a place in pub fridges around the globe, despite the limitations of the product. It’s just drinkable enough for anyone willing to regularly pay the premium price for this needs their head examined.
hellbilly (732), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jul 3, 2008 BB 7/11/2008... pale gold/rich straw color with a thin white head. aromas of straw, lemon, yeast and pale malt. the flavor is the same... light citrus, straw, earth and lager yeast with a dry bitter herbal-like finish from the hops. medium body. pretty boring but it really hits the spot on a hot day. sleepylopes (231), New York, USA Jul 2, 2008 well for what it is...a force carbonated macro its up there. Smooth boring but with enough malt hops and flavor to get it over. Swing top, I love. Should save every one for home brew. BeerFanDan17 (297), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jun 30, 2008 Average pilsner.
