A clean crisp yellow in color with a hoppy smell. Taste is a little bitter but refreshing nonetheless. Slightly sweet aftertaste that lasts throughout the beer. Overall a decent, drinkable light beer.

Bottle. The smell is light malty, a little bit of hops, light bitter, nice aroma. The head is medium large, white and foamy, the duration is medium. The body is clear and yellow. The taste is light bitter, soft and light astringent in the mouth. The finish is medium long. The body is creamy and light oily with a normal carbonation and a light to medium body.

500 ml Bottle: Aroma is that lager twang of those grass hops with a light malt backing. Pours a crystal clear golden with the slightest tinge on amber (not much but there) with a thick white head that diminishes into a soapy film. Taste is got those grassy hoppy notes, with somewhat of a lager twang, and sort of rustic feel. Palate is quite carbonated, lively and bitter on the tongue, and leave a light bitter aftertaste that lingers for a while. Overall, Preetty decent stuff. I would drink it again.

500ml Bottle, Munich. Pours clear golden, with moderate white head. Cereal aroma, and sweet fruit and hops on the palate. Clean mouthfeel, decent enough Helles.

Pretty gross stuff. Really skunky aroma to it as soon as it is opened. Taste is of sweat and grass. Terrible.
