Blond color. The aroma is breadish, stale. Dry and weak mouthfeel; cornish flavor, some bread. Correct bitterness. Boring.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Cloudy golden, brief head. Slight spicy nose. Dry with thin, hard body. Some paper, very slight spicy hops. So dry it’s almost dusty. Low bitterness. Eh.

from Bierhütte - translucid deep golden colour with absolutely no foam left; aroma of corn and oily grass; thin-bodied and slightly harsh, dry and corny, grassy finish with lingering notes of paperboard - hmmmm...

Bottled 33cl. Tall head. Buttery without any hop components which stand out. Drinkable but far from being a good beer. Reminiscent of a non alcoholic beer.

A local beer distributor is looking at some of the new fad of good for you beers. As I understand it Xanthohumol is a derivative of hops. You would have to drink barrells of beer to get much effect so this beer has more added (I think). 2.6%. Big head. Pale yellow with a slight haze. Smells like beer out of old cans. Tastes like salt and pepper calamari. Watery.
