50 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light cornish and mild grassy. Bitter, light metallic and vague cornish. Bitter and dry finish.

Bottle. A small, firm, white head forms over a clear, golden body. The aroma is very weak, with fruits and a touch of maltyness. The flavor is a bit more pronounced, with a nice hoppy taste and bitterness to deal with the grainy malts. Medium body, dry and pleasantly carbonated. Lasting bitterness in the end. A decent low alcohol beer. 120219

Bottle brown, 500 ml, got it in Munchen.
Appearance: Pours pale golden, practically yellowish, practically perfectly clear, light bodied, body is well saturated, initially the carbonation is lively and quite intensive throughout but constately gets calmer, head is initially big, slowly decreasing to medium, irregular and rocky texture, reminding me snowy white, frothy, cotton wool, very thick and impressive lacing.
Aroma: Generally not strong, simple mild and gentle sweetish malted barley at the background, rather poor in terms of the amount of hops but due to the light body herbality in hoppy profile is still felt, notes of moneral water, rust, mild softness, very simple, fresh, streight forward and regular.
Flavour: Very pure and clean without unnecessary adjuncts, thin, grainy, strict, streight forward, notalbe notes of bitterness and gentle herbality in retro-nasal aroma, clean with notes of minerals and metal on palate, clean and flat aftertaste, being on the border of Low Alcohol and Helles.
Palate: Body is light, texture is in fact very watery, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is slightly astringent, grainy and herbal, slightly salty, not that easy going either as regular Pilsener or a regular Dortmunder/Helles.
