2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear straight golden pour. Slight 1cm white head. Kinda generic in the nose – a grainy, melbda toast reminiscent blend with sunflower maltiness. Redirects toward mellow floral hops in its second half and hiding a mild toastiness, but you need to seek it out, it does not come naturally.
