BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Oct 11, 2009 Bottle, MFG date 25/12/08, best before 25/12/09. Poured a lighter shade golden with a fizzy white head that settled out quick. Skunky aromas with vegetables and grain. The flavor found grain and hints of lemon. Light body and dry. JediMindTricks (240), Hampton, Virginia, USA Oct 7, 2009 Poured a clear golden yellow color with a thin white head. Typical aroma of a pale lager in a green bottle that has traveled around the world. Corn and light skunk. Initial sweetness turns thin and watery. Mild bitterness on the finish. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Sep 12, 2009 Golden with a small white head. Grainy malt aroma with a tiny touch of hops. Sweet caramel flavour. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 31, 2009 Bottle at Chris-Os Pre GBBF tasting 2009 ... yellow ... light hop nose ... light malt ... grassy grassy .crap. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Aug 17, 2009 Bottle at the legend of chriso’d pre GBBF09 tasting. Alround rating: Cardboard, sweet lager malts, herbal hop exstract. Boring stuff. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Aug 11, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza. Bland pale lager with lots of grain and sickly sweet malt. Distinct lack of win. highlandlad (1258), Sydney, Australia Aug 11, 2009 A lot less fun than the island from which it takes its name. Pale gold with a dim head. Husky aroma with some odd notes - violets, rainwater and Seltzer. Fizzy palate. Oversweet honey malts dominate before an unpleasantly astringent hop buzz. Has a medicinal fruitiness, like cough syrup. Cardboardy malts. Overall, very poor and hard to finish. (330ml bottle from Randwick Cellars. BB 17/4/09) drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 5, 2009 Had from the bottle into a pint glass at a restaurant. A surprise from a green bottle for sure... Not too shabby! No skunk, nice sweetness, and a somewhat corny fade. Nice drinkable lager.
