Just another party beer - nothing special by a long shot. No head, bit too bubbly for me. At least it’s better than Bud.

I would say its more of an accustomed taste, not a bad beer to grab a six pack (or mini keg) of and chill with your buddies and drink ---by the way, i just got out of high school

Pours a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Atroma is of grass, straw, malt, and hops. Taste is of funky malt, straw, grass, and weak hops. Watery mouthfeel. The earthy funk taste makes it hard to drink. Funkier taste than other pale lagers, but lacks that watery poundability akin to poor macros due to the taste.

Pours a clean looking, pale gold color. Thick white head that stands up. Nose of grassy hops. A bit light mouthfeel, but malt is present with hops in back. Clean finish. Like it or not, an industry standard for a European lager.

From 500ml can. Smells like grass or straw. Golden yellow colour. Crisp clean and hoppy. Good carbonation. I like it better on tap.

From bottle, yellow color with lively carbonation and medium to thick head that diminish quite quickly, aroma is grassy with som flowers, flavor of citrus, malt with hoppy aftertaste.
