1 Litre PET shared by Per. Hazy, definitely unfiltered, even has a few particles floating. Dark gold. Aroma of fresh pale malts that are nutty, bright, natural, and invitingly rustic. The soft palate is also nutty with a balanced flavor profile. Unfortunately has some buttery diacetyl. Crisp finish is under-hopped and unrefined but is overall a pleasant surprise.

Bottle. Hazy yellow-tan. This has a lightly grainy aroma. Fresh mix of yeast and malts on the palate. Decent macrobrew.

Bottled, from Norman, St. Petersburg. Cloudy yellow, brief head. Fruity nose with some vegetables. Light bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Notes of hay, slight bitterness.

Bottled, plastic bottle. Before reading the notes: it should be consumed within 5 days and the bottle I had was about 2 months old. Aroma is strong butter with cookies and citric. Cloudy, pale yellow color, white head, fair lace. Citrus, butter, citric start but sweet middle and quite bitter finish, even grassy. Flat and refreshing. When more fresh I imagine this would be a very refreshing summer beer. Thanks Savad!
