This is one of my favorite beers. Tastes great, not too sweet and with a good amount of malts. My favorite Leinie.

It looks : generous stark white head on top of a very bubbly and blonde colored body. Transparent all the way through.
It smells : light honey, which is a given; basic sweet Pilsner aromas with earthy hop. Ends with honey too.
It tastes : like a basic blonde lager with a touch of sweetness. It is sweeter and smoother tasting than their original though not as interesting, but I like wheat beers so I may be biased. Some light grassiness, a bit of earthy hop.
It feels : lightly creamy, light to medium bodied, moderately carbonated. Ends wet.
Overall : a very mediocre beer. You can drink it but it's far from impressive in any way. I probably wouldn't have it again unless there were no better options. One of Leine's worst offerings.
