Dark gold in color, nose is vegetal husk, cracked grains, minerals and dry cereal. Taste is the dry malty sweetness of water crackers and unleavened bread. Chewy minerals and soft noble hops in the finish. Metallic tasting from the can, but still a clean and bitter European style pilsner.

This has become my go to if I want a regular beer that tastes like beer. Akin to Heineken, it has no adjuncts, but I think I like this more. Its only real flaw is that there’s a minor cardboard note in the flavor. Luckily that flaw doesn’t detract from the overall experience. Yeah, though, I prefer this over Bud, High Life, Coors Banquet, PBR etc. And MGD?? Well... I do kinda love MGD, I have to admit. And for my tastes, that might be its only real competition for another regular beer that tastes like beer. If you’re doing some shopping at TJ’s, buy with confidence. Cheers!

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours golden yellow orange with a small white head. Smells of fresh cereal grain. Tastes of sweet grain, a bit watery. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Clear deep gold with four fingers of dense white head. Rings of lace appear as the levels recede.
Smell is herbal hops with biscuit malts.
Taste is herbal hops with biscuit malts. Very much like hienaken.
Mouthfeel is light with great carbonation. The finish is mildly dry and balanced.
Overall a fine german lager. Easy drinking.
#1858.

Clear medium gold, loose white head that falls quickly.
Smells of bread dough, grass, floral.
Taste is decent, good balance of malt and hops. The carbonation seemed a little low too me. I’ve seen YouTube reviews claiming this is the same beer as orangeboom, it is definitely NOT the same. I bought it at Trader Joe’s. It’s pretty good for the price.
(orangeboom is much better.)

Can notes the beer is a pilsner. Reviewed accordingly.
Pour is a crystal clear golden yellow. White head that fades too quickly.
Nose is a nice bready, light corn, biscuit.
Taste is sweet corn, straw. Not really pleasant. minimal hop character.
clean, crisp body.
