Pours a clear golden color with a longlasting white head. Sweet malty grassy aroma. Flavour is a bit malty, little sweetness, some hoppiness. Dryish hoppish finish.

Can-Airborn. Sweet lager with a very light finish. Not watery, not thin, just light. This made the plane ride ever so smooth!

12 oz bottle. I am not a pale lager fan but this one took me by surprise, I you can get by the skunky aroma it’s a very drinkable beer, Clear golden color with a rich malty after taste.

Pours a clear pale gold with small, sparce rising bubbles and a dense, frothy, white head that sticks around for quite some time. It eventually diminishes leaving some solid lace. The aroma is skunked, a real shocker for a bright green bottle from a mix-a-six shelf. ;) Once it "airs out", I get a light grainy presence backed by a touch of faint, grassy hops. Light-bodied and thin with soft, fine carbonation-nice for a pale lager-finishing clean and crisp with just a hint of metal. The flavor is a clean and crisp sweet malt front with a lightly grassy hop backing and far less "metal" than I detect in many widely distributed pale lagers. This one’s not too shabby. I like it enough that if I could find another single that has been better protected from light, I’d try it again.

If nothing else, it LOOKED good. Clear, Golden and looked like it should be a nice crisp drink. The aroma was a somewhat sweet and quite hoppy. A bit effervescent, but the taste disappointed. Bitter/Sour, with very little hops/malt...but plenty of skunk. Very rarely do I NOT finish a beer that i"m trying for the first time, but about half way through I threw in the towel. Not something I"d recommend. It’s virtually undrinkable to me, but it’s rating is a bit higher than it probably deserves do its appearance and palate.

Tasted 2/8/2008. 12oz bottle. Consumed out of my 1664 500ml glass! Filtered with a golden hue. Lacing white head. Corny grainy cereal aromas. Mild fresh hop nose. Medium to light bodied and crisp. Mildly skunked. Tight effervescence. Sticky and coating. I used to drink this all the time in college, and still find it enjoyable.
