Knicked from the Old Man's fridge in January 2023 and drunk in August that year.

L: Golden yellow; thin, bright-white head. Large bubbles move slowly up the glass.

S: Minerally, sweet, corn, butter.

T: Surprisingly bitter, with a floral hop note. The corn is evident in the palate and provides a sweet counter note to the bitterness. At the end of the day, this one tastes exactly as expected with a mainstream euro lager, but the bitterness would possibly make it a challenge for some of its target drinkers.

M: Reasonably full in the mouth with more than expected carbonic prickle for a lager clearly meant for hot-weather, recreational drinking.

O: I went into this not expecting much - this is a budget beer in a category already crammed with budget offerings - and while the beer didn't blow me away, its bitterness made it more enjoyable than it otherwise would have been. As noted, however, I suspect those who buy this bear wanting a cheap, inoffensive Euro lager might be in for a bit of a shock.

Cheers!
