Bottle from the legendary Kris Wines. Slightly hazy light amber color with a medium white head. The nose is light white bread, some mango, apricot and herbal coriander. The taste is light grassy hops, bread, and light sweet grains. Pretty neutral flavor, lightly fruity but not exciting. The body’s soft, the beer’s easy to drink. Overall, there’s nothing wrong with the beer, it’s fine. Nothing more.
