2.4 Clear golden color with white head. Aroma has really generic clean malt and not much else. Taste follows, really bland but clean. Medium to light body with medium carbonation. Overall it's a drinkable macro lager.

2.7 Ein Bier aus Israel...an sowas muss man erst einmal kommen -meins war ein Mitbringsel, allerdings außer einer interessanten Flasche mit hebräischen Schriftzeichen und einer neuen Erstrezension hier hat sich das ganze eher weniger ausgezahlt. Es ist ein Bier typisch fpr heiße Länder: mild und erfrischend im Geschmack, mir aber etwas zu wässrig, aber sicher ein gutes Bier für den Strand.

2.0 Gekregen van een vriend die op vakantie was in Israël. Een koosjer bier wat vlak smaakt, beetje bitter blond bier wat voor de rest vrij futloos is.

1.8 Bottle. Pours clear yellow golden with a white head. Aroma: pale malts, a little honey, zest. Taste: light sweet, metallic, grainy, corn, cardboard, hay. Light body, average carb, semi dry close. Won't be repeated

2.2 D'un magasin casher Strasbourg . Dorée, très légère mousse. Nez malté, un peu sucré. Gout malté doux un peu mielleux, typique lager, très léger houblon, fin avec petite amertume douce. Ca passe pour le style

1.4 Bottle. Clear yellow with big frothy white head. The aroma has notes of grains, cereal and black pepper. Bitterish flavor, mild sweetness, notes of grains, corn sugar, some herbs and black pepper. Light-bodied.

2.2 Prakticky tady přidávám tento komentář, jen aby tady něco bylo, protože zpětně dopisuji 900 piv z mého seznamu a asi bych se musel u toho zbláznit.

2.6 Clear yellow straw, stable white head. Grainy nose with low spicy and grassy notes. Dry with low to none spicy bitterness. Clean, grainy pale lager. Drinkable. Not bad for Israel macro.

2.3 Botella 0,33l Color dorada clara con espuma blanca fina, media resistente. Aroma malta, cereales, pan. Sabor- un fino dulzor, malta, cereales. Postsabor- dulce, falta amargor du lupulo.bebible

3.0 From old tasting notes. Medium tawny gold color. Creamy white head. Assertive malt nose. Light dry, crisp malt flavor has a hint of clover. Good dry hop finish. Light dry aftertaste.

2.2 33cl green bottle. "All Malt". This is an inoffensive one. Soggy grain and some wet hay. Easy to drink if fuller bodied for the style. whatever...

1.7 Can, nine months before bbd. Pours clear yellow, with a quickly dissipating creamy head. Aroma is zesty, herbal hops, as well as some light malts. Medium body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is sweet with grassy hops and grainy malts with cereals. Rather unnecessary, and not really very refreshing.

1.7 Bottle shared by BuckeyeBoy Light corny sweet malts with some stale skunked notes. Sweet but just off.

2.0 Bottle pours out crisp pale wheat topped with a white head. Nose is a honey dipped skunk and some grain. Taste is more of the honey and skunk.

2.2 A kind of metallic taste, some malts and a short bitterness, but aftertaste is sweet. Weird? Not that pleasant, really.

3.3 Sweet honey and hay nose. Cloudy old gold, thin head. Honey, grass, hay, moderately sweet. Medium body, easy carbonation. Good stuff.

1.7 In Jerusalem, drinking from bottle. Taste of corn, but mostly devoid of any real flavor. The Coors of Israel? I guess on the plus side it is easy to drink and may be good on a hot day - but I have no intent on drinking this again.

2.0 (bottle 0,33l) Aroma: Light grainy. Appearance: Clear, light yellow color. Medium, white head. Taste: Light-medium sweet. Palate: Light-medium body. Oily texture. Light astringent finish. Overall: Boring international lager.

3.0 Clear golden, thin and short white head. Basic lager look. Aroma is dry and grainy, bit hay. Crisp, dry, mildly bitter, medium body, short. Nothing really wrong here but nothing memorable either.

2.0 Draught, Leonardo Club, Ein Bokek. An ordinary, decently tasing lager, nothing more, nothing less,

2.7 330ml bottle from Saveur Biére - Only bought this as a country tick, but was pleasantly surprised. Clear golden yellow, fizzy white head. Nose is a bit grassy, but not as skunky as I’d feared. Taste is clean, bit of cereal, sweet malt with a little sweet finish. Strange, but I like this.

2.5 Very light body. Bread and grassy aroma. Golden color low white head, high carbonation. Light watery taste with some sweet notes. Refreshing beer when it is cold.

2.7 Totally different bottle-design in Israel. Widely available there. Fresh, crisp lager with some notes of cardboard and gras. Refreshing when its hot.

0.7 Smell of starch, paper. Pale golden colour, white foamy head. Aroma of paper, starch, rubber. Plenty of carbon. Mildly bitter, mildly sweet. Quite gross.

1.4 Bottle proudly proclaims that the recipe is all-malt. Bland and corny. Sweet. Ugh.

1.9 Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso fa pervenire indizi di orzo. L’intensità olfattiva è normale e la persistenza olfattiva è corta. Il cappello di schiuma, a carbonazione bassa per bollicine dalla dimensione media, resiste poco. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. La frizzantezza è data da poche bollicine fini, a carbonazione praticamente piatta. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è leggero e scorrevole. Il dolce è medio. L’amaro è leggero. L’intensità gustativa è leggera e la persistenza gustativa è corta. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è pulito e semplice. Il retrogusto è sfuggente. L’aroma in bocca ha i sentori di mais e cereali.

2.2 Bottle from Mitsuya’s. Bready aromas with a light hint of grassy hops maybe. Average carbonation, crisp with a grainy mouthfeel. Finish has a tad of hop pepper, but only a little. At least it wasn’t skunked.

2.1 A very light yellow body with a frothy white head. Nose has notes of grain, metal and grass. Dry taste with a moderate bitter finish. High carbonation with large bubbles, mouthfeel is light. A basic pale lager but it has a nice hoppy bite.

1.5 Bottle Aroma-bread, grass, Appearance-pale, clear, white foam, Taste-light sweetness, lightly bitter, lightly sour, Palate-light body, thin feel, lively, abrupt finish Overall-nothing interesting

2.3 330 ml bottle. Bought in a Kosher shop in Strasbourg. Sweet lager smell, some malts and little hidden hops. Pale golden color low white head, high carbonation. Waterish sweet crappy lager taste. At least is not one of the metallic ones, but it’s certainly not a very good lager. Had worst, had best. Gonna only remember that I had a beer from Israel once and that I payed 2 euros for something that I could have bought in the supermarket next door for 30 cents.
