Small, dense, just-yellow head over golden-copper beer. Very malty, slightly grassy nose, dried garden herbs aroma. Just-not-sweet malty flavour, again grassy-tainted. Spritzy MF, not fizzy. Medium bodied at best, slight grist slickness. Standard, but decent. As if a certain level, a certain balance was intended, but the brewer is too afraid to push further.

Bottle 30cl. Pours a clear yellow colour with a good size head. It’s an okay beer, nothing special.

Bottle. A small, white head sits on top of a clear, almost golden body. It’s slightly cellary on the nose, with white sugar, fruityness and some hints of alcohol. Flavorwise it’s mostly fruity, but there’s also a distinct sugary sweetness. Thin on the palate and low on carbonation, making it a bit dull in the mouth. A rather boring one, but sure drinkable. 110300

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, mild glue, some mild grassy and bittery notes as well. Flavour is sweet fruits, malts, some grass and mild earthyness. A quite balanced brew..

Special Thanx to EDO for this beer!!! The beer in the glass is dark yellow, slightly cloudy. Malty-sweet aroma, very fruity (especially prunes). The beer starts fruity-sweet, with pleasant malt body and a good grainy aroma. The aftertaste is also very sweet and grainy, again with fruity notes.
