All round bland watery mess of a beer. Not sure what is going in with it. Avoid.

Furiously carbonated, but surprisingly short-lived in the heading department. A sleek, sudsy white pad remains but lace it doesn’t. Thin, translucent medium gold that is to its credit quite radiant. Sweet, tangy, damp pot pourri nose, floral and zesty and closely reminiscent to nail varnish remover. Sweetness is controlled in the mouth and similar to the aroma seems floral like rose water. Cardboard-like mid-palate, soft straw notes, little to no hops aside a light dried mown grass linger after the swallow. Watery thin but heavy in the stomach, soapy as it warms. Dulls out quickly, or I just grew bored quickly. Meh! (33cL, 4.6% ABV, BBE 11/12, Greenfield’s Liquor Store)

330mL bottle Golden body, short lived head. Not really much to it; grainy malts, obvious diacetyl. Soapy on the palate, dry and lean. Really not much to speak of overall. Try and save my words for something better...

330ml bottle. Did not expect much and that is what I got. Strong grain aroma is the first thing that hits you, a bit skunky. Amber colour with a scuzzy dishwater head and fuller flavoured than some pale lagers but not by much.
