Decent looking pour...very typical pale macro-kinda lager. Strong corn adjunct flavor,with some mild pale malt and a medium herbal hop bite. Very reminiscent of American macros that are so much easier to get and every bit as disappointing to drink.

Had this on-tap at a local bar that was advertising the fact they had it, like it was something special, served in a standard bar pint glass. Made a decent appearance, poured a clear oranged hued straw golden with a large fizzy head that left some ringed sticking. Had a funky, earthy hop with pale grain aroma, a mingling of the scents, a slight lemony yeastiness. Moderate carbonation and a slick, bland light bodied mouth feel, below average drinkability. An earthy hop taste at first, just a slight hop zing on the tongue, a bland graininess, a buried breadiness and a dry sour lemony finish with a little lingering earthiness in the palate.

Pretty pittiful for a mainstream lager. I was unimpressed with the greeen bottle and the skunkiness.

This tasted a lot more bland than I recall from years ago, but this seems the same for me for a lot of beers I try these days. It is a pale golden affair that must be the French equivalent of Foster’s. Just another mass produced beer pushed onto the world by a brewer. I think it is better than VB, but I cannot be sure. Cheers folks

Not much in terms of both aroma and flavour. Nothing offensive about this beer but very little to distinguish it from any other mass-produced beer. There are far better beers than this one out there.
