Bottle shared with Linh. Pours a plain amber body with white lacing. Aroma is light sweet corn, grain, and sweet, fruity malts. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonated with notes of fruity malts, a light graininess and nothing else. Not overly offensive, but nothing I would ever prefer to drink personally.

I tried my best to get any aroma out of this beer to no avail. The most I could get was a bit of malt. The flavor is not bad, slightly bitter with a dry feel. A little thin going down. Just a bland beer.
