Sweet and malty, some fruitiness. Full bodied. Easy going... not very complex. Nice dry finish. JohnBarleycorn (390), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 26, 2005 Medium-gold with a faint hint of brown. The aroma is surprisingly metallic for a bottled beer. A nice, rich palate unfolds to a heavy alcohol sensation and a banana aftertaste. Not bad, but the bizarre aroma comes close to ruining everything. haukur (684), Reykjavik, Iceland

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 15, 2005 500ml can from a local convenience store. Very deep gold colour, tensing toward orange. Limited aroma. Maybe some doughy malt and a touch of grassy hop. Sweetish on the palate but there are some discernible hops in there too. A bit of fruit, possibly apples. The finish is noticeably bitter. Ends much dryer than it starts. Not exactly brilliant but, for a pale lager, a masterpiece. An extra point for the overall element for surprising me.

Taste is rather light, sweet in the beginning,with a very slight bitter ending. Nothing to rave about, used to be worse though. oh6gdx (8839), Vasa, Finland
