Commercial Description:

(12oz bottle, thanks whaleman) Small white head atop a crystal clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, lemon/grass, some bread, light honey. Taste is medium sweet, bread, light grassy/lemon, metallic. Watery light body, some crispness. Not bad for a pale lager, just ignore the pilsner designation on the bottle.

Pale straw colour with a thin white head. The nose is quite dirty over a lot of lean pale malt. Thin-bodied and without a whole lot really going on. Quite macro-esque.

This looks good , a clear yellowish gold with lively bubbling and a respectable fizzy white head. But the aroma is a really sweet, honeyed bread with a grassy and metallic bitterness. The sweetness continues into the flavor and the bitterness takes on a mineral water tone. The finish is tinny.

Bottle from Epps in Limerick. Pours a deeper shade of gold than many pale lagers, with aroma of pale malt, some hopcit, and some honey. Decent palate smoothness, with decent balance. Indeed, almost like a poor man’s Yuengling of sorts.

Bottle from a case. Pours a pale body with a white head. Very thin and slick. Musky husky corn and dingy malt with a hint of moth and berry. Not so good.
