Can. Rich, sweet malt aroma, with caramel, cereals, no hops noticeable. Ever so slight butter as well. Pretty deep gold color, clear, with low and then very quickly vanishing head. Rich, very buttery flavor, with toffee and caramel and cereal. Nice malt, quite sweet, though, with just a touch of grassy hops and very faint bitterness, which then somehow turns medicinal. A bit too much diacetyl as well. Rich, sweet lager. Nice show for the malts, which I suppose was its intention, though it could use better hops. Not all that impressive.
