Purchased from local grocer for $2
No bottling/BB date
Poured at fridge temp into a pokal glass
Pours an attractive clear golden with little to no head/lacing 3.25
Very faint malt on the nose and not much else, even as it warmed. 2.75
Fairly seltzer/soda like with not much flavor, perhaps a touch of hops, aaaand that's it. 1.75
Biting carbo, but not overwhelming, light and lightly dry finish. 3
Overall a pretty and good feeling beer that misses big on aroma and taste, but hey, they can't all be spectacular! 2.75

This is a refreshing beer. You can drink it anywhere and it blends in with spicy food. Overall, this Beer has the perfect malty taste and at the same time it gives a flavor of dried orange peels. This beer shall be marketed all over the world. Its richness in malt and flavor makes it so drinkable. Thank you.

Clear light golden appearance with sparse lazy film of surface head. Grass, arugula, herb, peat. Light to medium body, light carbonation. Some off flavors that I’m having a hard time identifying.

May 2003: (330 ml bottle, brewed by Shepherd Neame, England). I have probably used this beer to wash down some Indian food in England, had to buy it again in Norway to rate it without food (by special order, it's normally sold only in our Indian restarants). Besides being wet and thus fit to help you survive a hot curry, this beer has nothing "Indian" or any other quality that should put it on a beer geek's wish list. Light golden colour, low head, Heineken-like aroma, uninteresting flavour but at least a hint of bitterness. Typical mediocre lager, not good, but not as bad as I expected.

A - Restrained pour into pint glass producing a small 1/2 head with moderate carbonation. Light lacing. Brew is a light straw color.
S - Corn, honey, grains.
T - Very good. This brew has minimal bitterness with a sweet finish. Honey, corn, and grain notes are prevalent.
M - Light and refreshing.
D - Extremely drinkable. This brew would pair well with nearly any meal or it would do just fine on its own. Unfortunately, the bottle I purchased was slightly past its prime. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it and would absolutely purchase it again.

Pours a bright gold colour, long lasting midsize head. Corny and grainy on the smell. The taste is also grainy, but some hop presence is noted. Very tickly on the tongue
