Not a very exciting beer, overall. Has a typical Euro malty/hoppy sweetness thing going. A couple cold ones on a hot summer afternoon would be okay.

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.
