Pours pale gold with a large but rapidly fading head. Aroma is lacking: some grainy malt and possibly grassy hops? A hint of white wine. Quite sweet upon tasting and amazingly light on. Sweet bready malt is the only discernible flavour. Practically no bitterness whatsoever. Become cloying after a few sips. Carbonation is too high. Massively high. Very watery too. Considering the lack in flavour, this is not what you want. Possibly the most flavourless beer I’ve had. Even beats Kilkenny in that way. However, no flavour is better than bad flavour!

Bottle, at Pyongyang restaurant in Siem Reap. Served at about room temperature so that might affect the rating. Bright gold, flat looking. Candied fruit aroma. Thin palate. Sour, bland, and bad.

Somehow this (seems to be) sold in Oz as something called Premium Cleanskin Beer at about $30 a case. No doubt is some currency arbitrage in there making this that cheap, but is pretty ordinary. Watery and dull with plenty of cheap sweet grain. Not even the lurid look of the photo of it on this page going for it.

33cl can, given to me by papsoe, thanks a lot. BBF 11.3.2009, tasted 17.12.2009 clear pale yellow, small white head. sweet aroma, faint stale hops. flavor is flowery, faint citussy, dry. balanced by faint but good hoppy bitterness. i know lots of macro beers that would be much worse this far past best before date.

Pours clear bright yellow with a small white head. Smells chemically fresh and tastes mildly sweet, acidic and bitter. Light bodied and watery texture. (Mini-can, courtesy of roger@Bryne 12.12.2009)

Bottle shared by Jay, your a dick, i mean thanks for the tick. haha pours a generic pale golden body with a white fizzy head. Paper cardboard, adjuncts, crisp sweet bitter and metallic. Down the drain is where this belongs.
