Deep gold with a very fine head. Rather faint aroma of sweetish malts and hops. Nice but too faint and not complex. Good cereal flavor, malts and biscuits, slightly buttery. Decent enough hops. Crisp but creamy, with medium body. Pleasant enough. Much better on tap than in the bottle. jonno (566), Brisbane, Australia

Light buttery grassy hop aroma. Taste is light and grassy hops with very soft mouthfeel. Some butter also detectable. Dry chalky aftertaste. Not bad, but a bit boring.
