    Clear darker yellow with white foam head, somewhat lacing. Aroma is kind of sweet, some caramel, some fruit. Taste is too sweet, but with the spicy Indian food it did well. Sweet aftertaste. (London 201305)

    This is the smallest 330ml bottle I have ever seen....I call fraud! There is really nothing to say about this beer that hasn't already been said. It's a typical pale lager...clear, pale yellow, grainy adjunct filled smell, and sickly sweey taste.

    LCBO Outlet #217 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Queen’s Quay)
    330ml bottle
    5.0% ABV
    $2.00
    The beer poured a translucent medium gold colour with a thin white cap. The aroma is grainy malt, pungent hops, and wet metal. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and medium carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt, acidic hops, and some sourness.

    With indian food its good. On Brick Lane when it is free, its better. But at home, well keep it cold its at the very least something different than Stella, Tsing Tao or Peroni. It tasts of budweiser that had a tea bag sit in it for a while, creating a corny, grasssy, taste to it, which is offset but increased hops which make it delightfully refreshing with a spicy curry. Overall, its great free with curry, decent and acceptable paid for with curry, and to be avoided otherwise.

    Just a less-than-stellar piss-yellow, grain-smelling bottle of what someone is trying to pass off as beer. Probably mostly rice and corn in the brew - virtually no malitiness and very little hops. Anything other than ice cold and you're asking for trouble.

    Made with rice and corn... well, this is going to be smooth. Well, actually, they hopped up the hop, so there is a nice hoppy finish to this one. Pours a light golden colour, with not much carbonation, a medium soapy head, that disappears quickly and some decent lace. The nose has the corn in it, but also the hop is present. Smooth mouthfeel for sure, as written, "extra smooth" on the label. So, not such a bad beer as expected, because the hop saves the day for this one.

    So this is the world’s most celebrated beer that was the result of their quest for the perfect beer, about time somebody made the perfect beer. Crystal clear gold with a 1” cap floating on top, beer actually looks pretty good but the stink coming from my glass is making my eye’s bleed. A dark skunk aroma is prevalent but after a few minutes this dies away and leaves a sweet apple aroma with hay and some hints of hops. Hops are turning mildly skunky the longer I drink and the brew has a mild metallic finish. Malts are dark and grass like slightly rotten taste. Mouth feel is fairly light and crisp just what you’d look for in this style. Dam it this wasn’t nearly as bad as I was hoping for some strange reason I was hoping for crap but instead I got mediocre swill. I do believe they ended their quest a little to soon.

    Bottle: Poured a golden yellow lager with a medium pure white head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of loads of adjunct with not much discernable if maybe some trace skunkyness. Taste is also a bad combination between some skunkyness and some bad adjunct. I guess this is about as bad as I had expected it to be.

    At least it looked good, with a nice, clear gold colour capped with a finger's worth of foamy white head. Aroma was mostly grassy, but not offensive. Taste was okay, I guess, along with an adequate mouthfeel. Not a beer I'd recommend when better is available.

    "The world's most celebrated lager.." - right off the bottle. yes! this is it! finally! Hey, why does beerpal say that this is ranked 892nd out of 1110 pale lagers? How could we all be so wrong? What is wrong with you guys?

    Well, poured out a typical clear and solid gold brew with a fizzy white cap that dies soon after. Smells smelllike. Actually, on first smell, this stuff is quite good considering this is a pale. Sweet with malts and a tad bit of corn. Don't let this warm up! (as if I had to tell you that). The taste was easily a 7 when cold but now, well... I've left it too long. Grains mostly and some sweetness, faint corn, ok bitterness. Finishes dry. Better than I thought it would be.
