Bottle from Malting Pot, Brussels
Hazy blond color, small head. Light aroma of malts and hops, but somehow anonymous. Light body strength, some malt flavor and some aromatic hop. Correct bitterness. It maybe has just a bit too much yeast, otherwise it could be a good idea, a clean and light Simcoe Lager.

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, lavender, grass, soap and hops. Surprisingly good for such low abv.
