"Another taker for the Trader Joe's "mystery bag." Slightly skunked smell (green glass). Not bad all things considered. Strong smell and taste of malt. Leaves a bit of a sour aftertaste. "

"Yeah, I was reeled in by the Trader Joe's deal too. Not horrible considering the price. There isn't much I can add other than it seems to present itself as pretty solid, low-end staple beer. An adequate, understated beer for get-togethers. "

"I really didn't expect much from this -- especially considering that the sample I purchased from Trader Joe's for $0.50 was obviously a heavily abused and dented can. But considering I was already picking up the equivelent of 2 six-packs of singles, an extra dented can of Euro-swill can't hurt, eh?
To be perfectly honest, this wasn't all that terrible. I suspect that if I'd had from a green bottle, it would be 99.44% Pure Skunk. But the can -- even in it's badly dented condition -- did an adequate job in keeping this beer in as decent condition as possible.
Average appearence, with slightly above-par aroma and flavor profiles. Nothing too adventurous, but nothing that would induce supersonic hurling of previous meals, either.
Overall, this is a very basic and drinkable lager -- cheap-ass packaging and bare-bones character considering.

"Light gold color, medium head. A lighter tasting, mild flavored pilsner. Taste is smooth, light malts and hops. Mouthfeel is crisp. Nice balance. Finish is smooth and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter."

[5] Review by Reidrover from Oregon, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/19/2005 2:38:05 PM)
"Ok cheap pick of the day from Trader Joe's..extremelly cheap looking can design. Actual;ly looks ok when poured into my glass..typical golden pils colour with a good sized almost creamy white head. the aroma is ok..typical and thankfully not skunked at all A nice just above average taste for a lager..some nice hoppiness and a taste of malt..its dry in the finish. pretty average on the tongue. A quite drinkabl;e lager..I must admit I was surprised..a good cheap beer for parties and BBQs.
