omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 15, 2008
Bottled at a Pizzeria in Bamberg. Clear golden, minimal head. Wort like raisiny nose. Sweet with clean hard mouthfeel. Grassy hops are certainly there, but there are way too much sweet wort.

An acceptable light-beer. Has some hoppy notes in the aroma, and a bitter finish in the flavor. Color is light yellow, white head, mostly diminishing.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - MAY 11, 2008
Pours a nice light golden yellow. Aromas of hops, grass, and maybe malt. Taste is crisp with a nice mellow hop flavor. This is one of the better low-alcohol beers on the market.

UPDATED: JUN 7, 2008 Bottle. Low alc. beer rating # 100. Pours a pale yelow colour with a short lasting medium white head. Sweet grainy cardboard aroma. Weak softly bitter grainy cardboard flavour. Yuuummmm I must get cases of this great tasting beer and store them in my cellar for many years... the flavour can only improve....
