has a nice golden color pour to it, has a foamy head with good retention to it, left foam notches as i finished, more malts taste than hops in this beer, goes down smooth, not a strong taste to it but no aftertaste, i would easily drink more than one in a sitting
overall a decent lager to drink

Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has a rich brown color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is sweet and malty. Tastes like it smells, sweet and malty, pretty tasty. Feels good in the mouth and has decent drinkability. Overall this is a fairly enjoyable beer.

A beer brewed to suit or con a market.
It is passably drinkable but very shallow in character.It is very plain , but has a distinctive European maltiness to it
The colour of the beer is a hideous yellow and is most unappealing.
best to drink it straight from the bottle

Pours a clear, dark golden color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Geed retention and good lacing. Smells strongly of tart malt, some yeast cleanliness, some acidic/metallic notes, and an almost cider aroma. Fits the style of a Dortmunder / Export Lager. Mouth feel is smooth and slightly thick with a high carbonation level. Tastes of tart malt upfront, acidic notes, slight cider flavors, and some yeast cleanliness. Wow, this beer just smells odd and the flavor is just as off-putting. The cider aftertaste is just too much to handle - couldn't finish this brew.

This is not that bad...not that good but not that bad - reminds me of a typical macro lager with a fraction more.
A: Very carbonated, average head retention, little lacing, crystal clear yellow.
S: Not too aromatic, little grassy hops, & a hint of sweet malts.
D: Grassy, only a touch sweet...very simple but over my meal was very palate cleansing.
M: Carbonated, light & a little creamy
D: very easy, with just enough character to get it over the line & have another one.

This was on "special" for $1, so I had to give it a whirl. I've been regretting it since that day.
A: Very macro style lager looking with a decent head formed by the active carbonation
S: Had to stretch this one....very bready grain smell, tons of rotting apple cider and stale bread.
T: Not afraid to say this is the worst beer I have encountered. The taste was initially of plain cereal malts, but that lead into a vivid, cidery tart finish followed by stale rotting apples and stale, moldy bread that was not very pleasant.
Caution: Aviod at all costs!

Poured from the green conical bottle. Nothing really says exactly what the style is, but it tastes like an export lager to me. This beer is very malt-oriented with no real hint of hops besides the fact that you cant tell they're balancing the malts. The barley is just a sweet bready flavor that mixes with a few slightly off flavors, due to shipping I imagine, and a little lager character. Not bad, not good.
