Bottle. Clear golden, small white head. Clean, earthy malt aroma. Ok mouthfeel, dry finish with a moderate bitterness. Ok, but nothing special.

This is a pretty decent generic lager. I’m sure compared to a lot of other German beers it’s nothing special, but for people who are used to pissy/watery North American macro’s, it’s a good one. Nice plentiful head, alright aroma, slightly bland but alright taste. Finish is a little dry and skunky, but not completely aweful.

From a can. Light golden/amber with a medium white head. Faint hoppy, slightly chemical aroma. Slightly bitter with nasty metallic hints. Watery finish. Not that good.

Sweet smell. Golden colour, creamy head, nicely carbonated. Malt taste, some bitterness. Crisp, smooth. Not too bad. But nothing to get excited over.

Clear golden-yellow color, moderate white head. Thin aroma of hops, sweet malts, and a slight skunkiness. Flavors were a mixture of sweetness and bitterness. Thin and almost watery body. Not horrendous, but nothing special.

Pale golden, quite ok white head. Quite hoppy aroma, with touches of malt. Sweetish flavor at fist, mixed with some hops. Too thin, but with a decent hoppy finish.

(50 cl can from Systembolaget) Clear pale golden color, white head. Weak grainy scent. Sweet and rather fresh malty taste. Brings back memories of German metal festivals. Medium mouthfeel. Low bitterness. A bit metallic aftertaste.

Canned. Pale yellow. Clear. Highly carbonated. Dense off white head. Not much to say about this beer. Bland aroma. Some grains and sweetness. Flavour is light fruity, grainy, grassy and has some sweetness. Is quite thin bodied and watery. Has some remote bitterness and is primarily sweet in the end. Easy to forget beer, that didn’t live up to the chili soup I was eating at all.
