Highly carbonated pale straw body. Thick but light-speed fading bubbly head. Exhales an average malty aroma. Bitter and hoppy taste with some metallic notes. Final is a little bit longer than the average for a lager. There’s nothing especially good or wrong to say about that one. It’s boring without being bad.

Weak herbal hop nose. Pale golden with thin white head that recedes to ring. Lightly grassy hops and grainy malts with notes af acetaldehyde (green apple). Body is light and fizzy. Bottle.

Bottle: Not much aroma. What little aroma there is is maybe a little grassy. It's hard to tell because the aroma is so weak. Pours a clear yellow without much of a head that dies relatively quickly. Not much lacing. Medium bitterness in flavor with very slight sweetness. A little more malt flavor would definitely improve the balance. Medium lived aftertaste. Seems to increase slightly in sweetness as you drink. Nothing special. Rather boring.

Metallic aromas with a lingering alkaline/ battery acid taste. Not convincing at all. Would prefer a standard lager over this disappointment. Unfortuantely I bought 2, so may try it again... Could have been worse ... might have bought a case.

Had this up in canada as well. Tasted very nice on draft. Very dark, but still very tasty

Bottled, in Cyprus.
Golden with a steadily rising head. Crisp hop aroma. Bitter hop flavour, thin but easily discernable. This beer put up no resistance and was gone before I noticed to much else.
