I never liked this one and it have not gotten any better. Bitter carbonated water at best. Not sure how they can keep making this cr@p. Sorry.

Poured from 500mL can into a kitchen glass. Best by 8/25/23.

Appearance: medium golden hue with a clear body and some apparent effervescence. Head is a finger of frothy white foam with an OK level of head retention.

Smell: malty aroma with a tiny hint of a plasticy, adjuncty character. Not the worst pale lager aroma out there, though.

Taste: light malt flavor with a bit of bitterness and a little bit of adjunct character. There's a very "beery" finish to this that I associate with cheap lagers (and this one is cheap, for sure). But honestly, for what it is, it's not too bad.

Mouthfeel: lightish body with a decent enough carbonation and OK creaminess.

Overall: this is basically cheap macro lager, but it's actually not too bad. It's not the best beer out there, but by the standards of its class, it's pretty decent.

Pours pale yellow in color, clear, with one inch head. Taste is grain and bitter soapy hops. Light bodied, bitter, with moderate carbonation. Mediocre. Worst from brewery so far. Hard pass. Malt liquour without the alcohol kick.

Reviewed from notes taken in Summer 2014.

Served on-draught into a .5L krug in Budapest.

No bubble show forms as it's poured.

HEAD: ~2 fingers worth of white coloured froth. Okay creaminess, decent thickness. Average consistency and complexion for the style. Leaves spotty inconsistent lacing as it recedes. Above average (~3 minute) retention.

BODY: Clear pale yellow. Clean, lacking any visible yeast particulate or sediment. Obviously filtered. Average vibrance.

Appears adequately carbonated. Not a unique or special appearance by any means.

AROMA: Pilsner malts, helles malts, barley, and maybe some generic floral hop character.

I detect no overt yeasty notes, nor any off-notes or booze.

An inoffensive aroma of below average intensity.

TASTE: Pilsner malts, helles malts/Munich malt, barley. That's really it. Balance is okay at best. Cohesive enough, but not a gestalt harmonious whole of a beer. Pleasant though unremarkable.

Very simple, with no nuance or subtlety to it. To style, there are no yeasty notes or off-notes (clean ester-free lager yeast is indicated). Clean drinking, with average depth, duration, and intensity of flavour. I do like it in a general sense, but it's not going for much.

MOUTHFEEL: Smooth, wet, clean, light-bodied, slightly overcarbonated, and unrefreshing. Decent presence on the palate.

Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough, or scratchy.

OVERALL: Easy to drink, but not a good beer within its style. Pretty basic fare, and not really worth trying. It's hard not to be dismissive of such a generic attempt at the style, but it's not bad for what it is.
