look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 2.5

This brew pours a golden see through yellow hue with average carbonation that leaves behind a one finger head and little lacing,the smell is typically macro with hints of grains and sweet perfumey hops,it has a light bodied well carbonated lacklustre mouthfeel and the taste is basically the same with tastes of grains,pale malts and perfumey hops and the finish is just like a lager with no bitterness and overall this is very much a macro drop or at least tastes like it and reminds me of Mauritius as bintang does bali but thats about it.

Pours crystal clear gold with a small, sudsy short-lived head.
Nose shows loads of rice, some alcohol and a little grainy malt.
Similar flavours but a bit more bready malt shows. Finishes with a mild metallic bitterness.
Very water body, carbonation is too high.

Bought a 6 Pack of this from Dan Murphys for ~$14.99

Lovely crackle as it pours into the glass

Pours nice amber colour

Head slowly receding to around 1 inch
low to moderate carbonation

Low bitterness, very refreshing, floral hops, crisp

Decent lacing

This beer seems to be everywhere in Australia, I wonder who decided that they were going to import it here! But whoever it was, I thank you.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 4

appearence is deep yellow with reasonably receding head.
Smell is strange, kind of reminiscant of ethiopian food, not bad, just average in a different way.
Taste, very smooth, not much to it, though nothing offensive.
Mouthfeel is pretty average, not amazing.
Drinkability, well if i want a cheap lager to get smashed on, i'll keep this one in mind as it is the cheapest in australia and it is enjoyable.

3.9/5  rDev +40.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance - 3.5
Pours a finger of white head over a light gold body that has a little chill haze. Leaves some sticky lace.

Smell - 4.0
Very clean and delicate with a lovely pale malt aroma that makes me think Munich Helles, rather than American Pale Lager. Bready, doughy, dusty pale malt upfront with just a suggestion of grassy, herbal hops in the background.

Taste - 3.5
Not quite as delightfully German as the aroma, but up there. Slightly sweet malt that reminds of the crust of freshly baked white bread. Very clean, with just a little herbal hop character in the finish.

Mouthfeel - 4.5
Light bodied with moderate carbonation and very fine bead, perfect for the style and not as bloating as many pale lagers.

Drinkability - 4.5
Would work as a lawnmower beer and as something so sit back and enjoy. I could drink this by the stein!

OVERALL - 3.8
Pretty damn good, a real surprise beer for me. This was given to me by a friend and now I am interested to know the price because I could see this becoming a regular summer beer for me. Phoenix Beer would give many a German lager a run for its money!

The thing that attracted me to this particular beer was that it was from Mauritius.
It is a beer that is a little bit above the ordinary having a cleaness about the taste and appearance.
It is dry and appropriately bitter thus making for a beer made for hot weather

Brown 330ml bottle obtained from 'Beers of Europe' which id near Kings Lynn in England.

Poured into a stemmed pilsner glass, it looked the part. Clear, bright golden lager colour with a good white head that hung around for a while before turning into a wispy covering and collar. There was some lacing as the beer was consummed.

Very little in the way of aroma, some grassy notes but not a lot of anything (like most lagers/pilsners).

The taste was different to your normal lagers, this was woody, earthy and interesting.

It was dry and refreshing, had a hidden depth of character and suprised me in its complexity.

One of the best lagers I've had since I started reviewing on this site. Glad I made the effort to try it, highly recommended.
