A nice fresh hop aroma of good quality hops. A golden yellow lager, not complex, but smooth, not really sweet, more a dry/roast character. I like the hops, very crisp and refeshing but smooth. No bad aftertaste. Not as thin as some pils.

Lukewarm, unpleasantly bitter metallic suds atop a plastic beaker half-filled with ice. OK, so probably not the ideal conditions for sampling a ’premium lager’. The refreshing, sweet maltiness of this beer is best expressed chilled, and at less than 36,000ft.

I was dissapointed by this beer. Although it was light and smooth it lack the care and prestige that beers from this region should have, mild malts and almost no hops.

On tap, King’s Head, Winnipeg. In the bottle, too. Although this beer has that Heinekenesque skunky smell, the end result is much more appealing to the palate than that of its Dutch counterpart. A smooth beer that goes down great with food.

(bottle - 12 oz) Pale and clear yellow pour with a thin and fizzy white head. Very carbonated. Light and bitter aroma with some hints of corn and a touch of something sweet. Couldn’t really identify it though. Flavor is very watery, bitter, and metallic. Loads of corn throughout. Finish is watery and sour.

Poured pale gold, crystal clear. Sudsy pure white head, didn’t last, little lace. Aroma on the line between skunky and grapefruity, som sweet malt, herbs and cardboard. Flavor had some malt sugar, but was mostly spicy, herbal hops. Fair bitterness. Mouthfeel okay. Just your basic euro. If you lived through the 70s, you’ll remember the first "German" (mostly Heinekin, Lowenbrau, Tuborg, Becks, Dab, euro brews). This reminded me of them. Boy we thought they were so sophisticated then.

On Tap in Winchester UK. Clear golden color. Light head. Skunky after taster. Not very tasty. Reminds me of a budweiser (Sorry if I sound too extreme).
