Can. Clear golden, white medium head, rather short lasting but nice. Aroma: mild hoppiness. Flavour: light sweetness, fruity hoppiness with malt and a pleasant bitterness. Pleasant brew.

Can. Dark gold color, large but quickly fading head. Hoppy aroma, though Sazz and not Cascade. Rich, biscuity malts as well. Reasonably aromatic. A touch of honey. Slightly fruity as well. Very fruity flavor with hops aromas but not much bitterness. Citrus, honey. Quite sweet indeed. Some cardboard. Finish is relatively bitter, though not at all clean or crisp, and somewhat unpleasant. Starts out promising with the hop aromas, but kind of lackluster in the mouth. Good idea, but an unbalanced one-off, it seems.
