12 oz bottle that came in "Beers of the World" multi-pack. Pours clear golden with fluffy white head. Aroma is malt, hops and corn. Flavor is bland with hops, malt, corn and a little honey. Best part of this beer is the drinkability. Smoth drink that is just touch better than Miller Lite.

Bottle. Clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Balanced aroma and flavour of honeyish malt and grassy hops, with a moderately bittered finish. Crisp body, quite refreshing. Another surprisingly decent Euro-style lager from these guys.

Strong hop bitter malt aroma. Clear yellow colour with good head and lacing that dissapears. Strong hop bitter malt flavour. Fizzy palate.

courtesy of MadDan - very clear pale golden colour, stable white foam; poor aroma with a touch of corn; soft and neutral palate, medium-bodied at best, slightly sweet and no bitterness detected; short tasteless finish - close to water
