Pours a dark golden colour with a full fluffy malty head. Heavy body, with a thick mouthfeel. decent beer overall, sort of raritie in my part. taste is ok.

This was dreadful- I’m positive I had an expired or skunked bottle. Tasted like battery acid and urine. Aroma was unappealing and I should have taken the hint. I would like to try this again maybe in Sri Lanka but after the long journey to North Carolina this was by far the worst import I have ever tasted.

Smells like hops and gasoline. Looks golden, but very watery apperance. Tastes like hops, gasoline, and water. Leaves a short lived bitter taste in my mouth. As much as I liked the stout, the lager is a dissappointment.

Bomber poured a clear gold with a lingering ring of white foam. Aromas of bread dough, light skunk and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, light citrus and a hint of spice with a crisp lingering funky finish.

Smells a little like a basement in a frat house and tastes a little like what comes out of the keg after midnight. Not so good, not complex, lacks any sort of interesting flavor.

Bottle from Oak Tree. Why oh why am I wasting my time purchasing beers from countries like Sri Lanka. I guess I got what I deserved for buying this so called beer. Pours a thin looking clear golden yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of grain,rice and cereal. Flavor of the usual grain cereal combo but with a touch of sweetness. Typical pale lager, not worth seeking out or drinking for that matter.

Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel.
Pours golden with a big, frothy white head. Aroma has hay and maize sweetness. Some slight apples as well. Lowish carbonation, very thin and watery. Flavour is limited, rather sweet, lightly metallic and with a touch of spicy hops.
