COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Golden colour, floral bouquet and light flavour of newly mowed hay.

Brewed with great care using only malted barley, hops, medium-soft water and a bottom-fermenting yeast; matured at low temperatures to bring out its delicate flavour and soft hop-character finish.

The cold maturation period allows the bottom-fermenting yeasts to secondary ferment and improve the lager’s flavour, purity and condition.

oh6gdx (18575) - Vasa, FINLAND - AUG 3, 2009
Draught@Wenlock Arms. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is malts, some grassy and grainy noyes as well as mild wood. Flavour is malts, earth, some mild grains. Yet it is quite balanced and drinkable. Especially on a hot summerday

Dedollewaitor (12285) - Odense, DENMARK - DEC 26, 2007
55cl bottle. Pours clear see through yellow with a fine lasting egg white head. Aroma is of hay/grain/grass - in a good & fresh way. Body is slight watery . carbonation is a bit flat. A typical premium lager but without a nasty metallic edge & such. Very drinkable for its style.
