Pours a darker gold color. Not really yellow but not quite amber either. A limited head with limited retention. The nose was limited overall but some grainy notes as well as some lager yeast characteristics. Very clean overall but if you really start looking you can pick out some lighter hop notes. The taste has more of a malty presence than what the nose indicated. Some grainy tastes that blend well with a very light caramel flavor. The hops are basically non-existent leaving a sweet finish. The beer itself is rather wispy and tones down the sweeter flavors. Some lighter yeast finish but nothing too bad. The body is light but understandable for style. A clean taste but not as crisp for style either. A very easy drinking beer to say in the least.

Nov 28, 2008 Clear very light yellow pour with a finger of white head. Big skunky pils aroma, pale malts, and a light hop grassiness. Taste is malty, light pale malt, smooth with some grassy hop for balance.

Nov 27, 2008 Sorry Stella. 12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. Golden color was beautiful and I was pumped about trying this one. White head, looked clean and refreshing. Then I smelled it. Maybe it was a skunky bottle, maybe too much light got in. Or maybe not. Maybe it was just a bad beer. Tasted skunky. I barely could finish this one.

Nov 27, 2008 Crisp gold but I’ve come to prefer a little darker hue in even my lagers and pilsners. Taste is not reminiscent of Heineken at all and has this sourness. The sourness makes it inconsistent for me.

Nov 21, 2008 On tap at a hotel restaurant. Poured into a pilsner glass, bright golden yellow with a small head that left no lacing. Nice champagne bubbles rising to the top, though. Pungent aroma, skunky like a heineken. Flavor was less offensive - somewhere between cardboard and grains. Watery mouthfeel, nice carbonation (best part of the beer), and dry aftertaste. A place that serves this probably also serves more appealing alternatives - go for the alternative.
