That dark gold color, noticeable haze, white head. Nothing to speak of in the smell department.
Taste, not a whole lot going on there either. Light, refreshing etc. . . all the usual buzzwords with a beer that lacks discernable character. Slight bitterness, but not from an appreciable hop content, bitterness and a metallic aftertaste.
This beer was mild back in the 90s, and thesedays, it seems even more tame. I can't really figure who or where I would recommend this. Its light in every way, so I guess I'd recommend it to people who don't drink beer, or people who need to drink beer when its over 100 degrees out.

This is a very fruity and sweet type of beer that resembles and ale more so than a typical lager beer. The hop levels are very low and it is predominantly malty and fruity. Not a bad beer but not the thirst-quenching type of lager you want to pair with some spicy food.

Gold color, not much clarity, 2/5" white haze. Aroma was mute.
Taste was close to mute. Slight bitterness and toasted malt flavor going on, very minimal.
Basically this is gateway from light beer to light ale.

Can tell its not pasteurized, with a rather murky hoppy flavor. If it was pasteurized, it would probably get rated much lower, because its middle of the road.

Solid pale lager. Nothing too remarkable or unusual, but very tasty and one of their better beers. Not a very typical style any more, but worth having when you want something in this realm.
