Beer. Nothing more nor less. Did pour with a big foamy frothy head and a bit of lace. Golden amber color. Nose was beery. Oddly mouthfilling but still watery. Hops are there but there’s a play between the bitterness and neutral sweetness. Beer burps. Serviceable. Almost a session beer if you don’t want anything too bold. Got this one at the big local supermarket.

Dark golden color with carbonation. Tall white head. Nil aroma-some hops and bread. Not much of a beer.

9/20/08 From 660ml can, Cans, Tacoma, Wa. Aroma is strangely a blend on noble hop flora and fresh baked whole grain bread. Appearance is clear gold with a low white head. Flavor is sour pils malt forward with a strong noble hop background and medium bittering. Mouthfeel is very low bodied with a medium/high carb texture. Overall, not very easy drinking, but more character than expected.

22oz can poured into glass. Yellowish gold with a foamy white head. Malty aroma and not much else. Start of cereal malt taste that ends abruptly for not much of a finish. Overall nothing that stands out but an average beer to sip on.

22oz can. Light gold with a sturdy white head. Herb, leaf, metal, and soap aroma. Slightly honeyish, crackery malts with an abrasively bitter herbal finish that really isn’t too bitter. Light body with lively carbonation. Not terrible, but the bitterness in the finish is not jelling with the watery malt profile.
