12 oz bottle. Not a bad beer, Poured a dark amber with white head. Tasted like a weak IPA Im not too sure if I will try this brew again. Nothing special.

Medium white head. Light brown body. Light wooden medicinal aroma. Dry medicinal fruity taste with cinnamon and wood notes, somewhat watery. Light roastiness and spice detectable. Light, but subtle, and good. (0.355l bottle.)

Bottle poured into glass.. no head, sparkling medium-amber color. Moderately hoppy aroma with a hint of butterscotch. Lightly bitter flavor with a "toasted" feel. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. A decent and refreshing beer for any occasion.

355 ml bottle (5,1% abv). Greyish thin head over a clear copper brown body. Modest aroma of malt, caramel and slight earthy hops. Notes of skunk and wet cardboard. Malt and bitter hops dominates the flavor. Some cardboard in the taste as well. Thin-bodied. Rather watery. A quite boring macro-bitter.

Pours a medium clean copper with a faint head. Aroma is light malts, grains and corn. Flavor is also light malts, a touch of hops and finishes with a slight bitterness. A decent drinkable beer.
