Small yellowish head over metallic-golden beer. Coriander, human sweat, rainwater. Metallic-bitter; coriander less obvious than in the nose, but the bitterness is indifferent at best. Warming up, again spices and herbs, including the infernal weed. Slick, finish is harsh. Medium bodied. Not distinctive enough, and the coriander certainly doesn’t help.
