Yellow, for pity’s sake! Bugger all aroma. Corny, boring, bland, sweetish. Fortunately not horrific, but that’s about as positive as I can be.

(Bottled, 0.46l, sampled 3 weeks before BBE date) Clear, paleish golden with a smallish, quickly and completely fading, lemonadey head. Quite dull, slightly cardboardy aroma with wet dog, some vegetably malt and practically no hops. Grainy, very cardboardy-malty flavor with some corn and vegetables. Light-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Pretty bad. Either this really doesn’t last long in the clear bottle, or else it’s just plain bad from the beginning...

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2007 Bottled. Pale golden, no head. Sweet and sugary with medium body. Some butter and cellary tones, otherwise solid and straight forward. Low bitterness.
