voota (754), Melbourne, Australia Jul 24, 2007 Chestnut colour with a normal looking white head. Aroma of wood, as well as some munich malt sweetness and other wort notes. Smooth, medium bodied, dry and fairly griany and raw tasting, not many hops have gone into this one. Clean finish. enjoyable enough.
