[Bottled] Pale golden, quickly disappearing ugly head. Aroma of grass and blood. Sharp and fairly thin. Dominated by metal, though some grassy hops come through. Some late bitterness competes with the the blood and metal for attention in the finish.

Thin, watery, some sweet grain. Bitter hops show a ghost of how the proper Grolsch used to taste all those years ago.

UPDATED: AUG 29, 2008 330 ml bottle. Dense platina blond head. Pale yellow golden color. An unpleasant aroma of overcooked vegs at first. Sugary malts and earthy hops after a while. Taste is light sweet, with some fairly crisp malts, but a quite unfresh hop bitterness. Healthy body considering the low abv. Lingering bitterish ending. Not that bad, but I prefer the the big brother.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear golden with a white head. Sweetish malty nose. Medium-bodied with a fairly good and clean malt base - rather sweet actually. Light bitterness in the finish. Surprisingly decent. 220608
