Received a can from a friend 12-2-22. Consumed 3-8-23.
Beer poured amber with an okay white head.
Nose is sweet and grainy.
Taste is a sweet malt base which lends a touch of apple. Finishes sweet and lacking hop balance.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and pretty smooth but lacking a refreshing quality.
Overall not bad, just okay, a little too sweet for my taste.

Clear light copper color with a decent off white head that doesn't last.
The aroma is mild lightly toasted bread.
The taste is along the same lines with a bit of light caramel but otherwise more like a Pilsner, only a hint of herbal hops.
The body is light/medium, plenty of carbonation, fairly smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is a decent lager, mild but decent taste and fairly refreshing, best cold.

On the pour, loads of carbonation begin streaming up creating a fine off white 2 finger sticky looking head. Body is a darker brass, but not quite as dark as I'd expect from the style. Blobby lacing. Slight haze
Aroma at very first sniff actually came off as a true lager independent of the rest of these Minhas beers. A slight toasty bready malt thing comes through but as the beer warms the *funk* shows up (see essentially all my other reviews on beers from this pack). Less funky & syrupy than many of these and probably the best delicate style they've thrown in here.
Taste is decent if not light. It comes off as a Czech Pils more than a Vienna lager, but the fact that It comes off as anything other than Minhas advent I'd say is pretty good. The funk carries into the flavor, but is much less pronounced. Not as much dark malt as I would like, but at this point I'll take any true malt character.
Feel is finally pretty good. Comes off as pretty light which I appreciate for a lager. High carbonation covers some flaws, but the medium finish is quite dry and crisp.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised here. I completely expected this to be a dumpster fire of a lager, but lo and behold it just barely passes. Again the overbearing Minhas funk that is in every single one of these beers is here, but somehow this one manages to move past being a one note drain pour.

Pours with a light copper colored body and a good white head.
The aroma is a little off; an impression the flavor does not dispel. It almost seems as if a splash of wine was added. It also seems like a more generous hop load is needed.

I had my share of Sam Adams Boston lager, so I have a reference for this one. Not as good no doubt but it is ok. Seems on par for the style, maybe a little watery and there is something a little off in the after taste. But otherwise it is fine. It is like the beers I had from Aldi, serviceable.
