Another not suprising lager. Golden colour, light head. Weaker hops. Not good enough.

Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe corn. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor.

Yellow pour with hoppy start and dank grainy middle/finish. A nice southern african lager.

I think its ok, not great, but okay. Yellow and clear. White head, mostly lasting. Malty aroma, grain, notes of chalk. Flavor is moderate sweet, only lightly bitter finish. Soft carbonation.

Can. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale yellow. Aroma and taste are mainly sweet malt.

...bottle. Poured a clear light yellow with basically no head. Low carbonation, flavors were of corn, some weird malt, and maybe a hint of some artificial tasting hops. For some reason the low alcohol content came through as a flavor, indicating this was a poorly brewed beer. Worth the rating but nothing else, luckily it was reduced to clear, and I only bought one.
