Wulfstan (481), California, USA May 22, 2008 This is a pretty good lager. It’s gold with a fairly big white head that steadily shrinks to a ring and leaves a tiny bit of weak lacing. The aroma is bread, raw grain, hay, pine -a slightly perfumy, nice, basic European lager. The taste is a little drier than expected, first being light herbal and grassy hops then bready with a lioght honey sweetness and finishing with a light herbal bite. It hs a light mineral-water quality, a hint of fizzy apple cider and 7-up, but while not soft and full in feel it’s not watery, either. It’s a good, tasty, and drinkable basic beer.
wheelz843 (38), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 2, 2008 bottle. light orange in color with very little head. has a very berry aroma. bit of a fruitty flavor with no real bite. ewestern (110), Ohio, USA Oct 2, 2008 Golden color with a white head. Lots of bubbles. Citrus aroma. Watery malt flavor with a hint of corn to it. A little carbonation with a crisp finish to it that left a bland malt aftertaste. jbuzz (518), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Sep 29, 2008 Tasting at Three Cellars. Wheat like flavor slightly metallic nothing much to spewak of. trevor211 (108), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 27, 2008 Pours like a slightly carbonated, dark-colored riesling. Smells like creamed corn, wheat, and a bit of the classic cheapass foreign beer. Tastes (astoundingly) like most of the beer I had in South America - metallic, cheap, and uninspired. Not that you can really expect more from something that’s likely sold in (and drunk in) bulk. But not something I’d pick up if I had other options. luttonm (55), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 27, 2008 500ml from Big Star in Seattle. An old standby from my times in the Balkans... one of the better ones there (though Peja from Kosovo is by far the best!). Golden lager look with thin/cream head. Malt/honey and creamed corn nose, taste of alcohol on the mouth, still sweet. crisp enough, fudgy finish. Great for a nostalgia trip
