A Mes rate: Bland and univiting aroma. Medium brown body with a thin film for a head that lasts reasonably well and leaves plenty of lacing. Flavour is soapy bitter and nothing special for me. Sticky finish. A let down.

From bottle. Lovely copper colour with carbonation. Has no head with a sweet syrup aroma. The beer is crisp and and has a dry bitter taste. I felt the intial after taste was rather metallic but does get better.

Bottled. Orangeish colour with reddish hints, mediumsized thick creamy off-white head. Aroma is flowery and fruity hops. Flavour cooked vegetables "malty" and hops in finish. Not that special. Refreshing and quite easy to drink.
