Bottle, in a town north of Hamburg. Was told that this was popular in Northern Germany. Luckily for me, so are Bavarian Beers. Color not unlike Budweiser, or piss. Mildly hoppy flavor, but nothing that reaches out. Not very smooth, even for a lighter beer.

Bottle 0,5l. Pale golden color, sweet and hoppy aroma. Crispy sweet taste with some maltness and mild hop. A bit too light though.

Bottled. Yellow colour. Earthy, light hoppy nose. Light, bit soapy mouthfeel with a pleasant hop tone in good balance with what seems to be "all grain"( a bit of mûnchener malt maybe?). Light, but notable bitterness. Reminiscent of a lighter Oktoberfest maybe? Pretty good!

Standard fare for a european macro lager. Sweet malt and some metallic and grassy hops. Some buttery notes on tasting. A bit of ’nya’ bitterness creeps its way into the aftertaste unfortunately. One to drink if there’s not much else available (eg if there was aussie macro-piss).

They made this beer in Honduras, Central America when I was there and it was, needless to say, better than all the local brands. I haven’t had it in years nor have I had the original from Germany. It wasn’t a bad beer from what I remember. Fairly mild, nothing special. Some mild hops with a mediocre finish.
