Serve in Lager glass

Clear amber pour with a small white head. Huge buttery toffee in the nose, with a hint of graham cracker. More butter in the flavor, with toffee, and biscuit. Diacetyl bomb. The body is thin with low carbonation, letting the slipper butter texture come out more. Not a fan.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and hops with a bitter finish.

Into the glass, a strong golden yellow beer pours with soapy gross head. The smell is very hoppy bitter. Starts with delicious aromahops and very pleasant bitterness. The middle part shows a lot more bitter hops, the finish is slightly musty, very bitter tart!

500 ml. bottle. Pours a short lived white head, over a clear light gold (SRM 5) body....nose is sweet malts, with a touch of floral, light cereal....taste is light cereal, light malts, finishing with a slightly sweet hint....mouth feel light, carbonation. This is a light beer which is typical of, and very exactly meets, this uninteresting style. BJCP 6/3/10/4/5
