 ... packaging of orange and white, very bland but easy to find on the shelves because of this . It also has the words 'Light, Refreshing, Thirst Rate!' on there. Seems like the people branding these products have a sense of humour . The lager is 2% in volume, so really incredibly weak . I normally drink straight from the can, but for the purposed of this review I though I ought to take a look at it in the glass.
