Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, yeast, grass and hops.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate. Too fizzy.

500ml can. Mild mix of hops and malts, but the alcohol taste is rather strong, seems like more than 7%, which takes away from the beer as a whole.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of MiP. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a huge white head. Aroma is toasted malty and crisp hoppy. Bitter, caramelish and slight breadish. Smooth and crisp bitter hoppy finish.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Starts strong, spicy, some grasy-wheaty notes, modest fruity like lemon. Finish well balanced, quite drinkable. Nice!
