From the bottle, it pours a clear light yellow golden color with a modest, soon diminishing white head. Grainy scent in the nose. The flavor in the mouth is a watery grainy flavor that is perfect for hot summer days....

This might be one of those beers that works for me well enough because it really doesn't have much going on. The adjunct lager style doesn't bring much expectations - and this beer doesn't seem to be striving too much to reach any. In [not] doing so, it avoids being offensive in any way, as well - so that's a plus.
Very clear, and quite light in body color, the body is nicely clean, but the head isn't overly impressive. Nose starts as near aromaless, but some light hay-like grass eventually rouse my nostrils from boredom. The aromas actually indicate some grain to me and not much sweetness, so I wonder what the adjuncts are and how much.
Taste is light in all respects, but is wonderfully clean and light and easy to drink - like lightly flavored water. But what flavors? Again, light dried grass, with a little more greenness to it than the nose indicated. There isn't a big push towards sweet malt/adjunct notes, though there is some sweetness detected. I think that's what I ended up enjoying most about this, its relative uninteresting profile has only a few notes, but they stay in decent balance.

Dorada con una pequeña cabeza blanca; de cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aromas herbáceos y un poco de malta pero poco intensos. En boca es planta; no destaca.

Poured from the bottle into a Libbey style pilsner glass.
Supper bright, crystal clear and dark bodied bright shiny brass gold color, with light amounts of pinhead bubbles. Head creation is a nice frothy and sudsy three fingers, managing a bit of soapy cling and lacing. Very nice looking lager.
Very clean nose. Stays away from corny sweetness, or excessive sugars and off flavors and gets into faint hits of white bread.
Nicely easy drinking palate. Mild sweetness with faint touches of bread in the mid palate, and more of a honey like flavor. Clean but with less crispness, almost a bit of German like density of malt nearly as well. Peppery feeling carbonation also adds a nice texture and fun to the palate, and stays away from obnoxious gas as well.
Quite a surprising AAL, that's got a mix of mild sweetness, and just simple clean flavor.

I was really surprised by this beer.
I did a Blind Taste Test, and at the end it was better then Heineken (ok, I know that Heineken isn't anything great, but that was the test).
For a cheap beer it pays the money!

Bottle from Maruhn. Poured with a thick, foamy head. Smell is slightly sour/citrusy. Taste is weak, mouthfeel is watery. My guess is some adjunct grains are used in this....
