Bottle. Clear solid golden yellow with a firm, frothy white head, about 1/2 inch thick. Nose of creamed grains, fluffy yeast, light corn, and a snappy, sharp resinous corn oil scent. Palate is smooth and frothy up front, then more firm and sharp in the back. Doughy corn and twangy grains tasted. Finishes extremely clean and elevating, with a light yeastiness and a cloudy, pillowy creamed grain flavor. Finishes better than it begins.

Bottle. Nice golden body, dense white head receding, Saaz (or should I say Zatec Red) nose. Honeyed malts, Saaz, light DMS. Lightly carbonated for the style.

[330ml bottle at Malmaison, Reading] Attractive deep gold/ amber with a large, lasting foamy white head. Smells sweet, honeyed, some grass. Tastes disappointing in comparison; some malt and a tiny hint of grass, but mainly a bland watery bitterness. Instantly forgettable.

Kind of a light orange pour. a bit of a fruity, grassy aroma. Sweet, grassy taste with a chemical aftertaste. I’m not a fan. Very difficult to finish.

Bottle purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, NE. Pours a clear gold with two fingers of fluffy white head that diminishes to a thin cap. The nose is of grainy, biscuity malt with a lightly grassy supporting note. Light-bodied with a finely grainy mouthfeel concluding crisp and lightly dry. Sweet, light pilsner malt with a mildly grassy hop note at the finish. This is a fairly solid brew. It’s not flashy, but it’s not too shabby.
