Amber pour with a white head. Toasted malt, bread, white grape, and some orange peel. There’s a bit of water, some yeast, and faint earthy hops. The flavor is quite bland too. Somewhat watery, light malt sweetness, bread, and toast. Hints of orange and earthy hops, yeast, and water. Nothing offensive, just one of the blandest beers I’ve had in awhile.
