Medium bodied pils that starts with light malt sweetness and toasted malt flavors. Finished dry with light malt fade. No discernable hop presence. A decent drinkable malty beer.

Quite a mild aroma, smelling of bread crusts, and perhaps a hint of fruit. Flavor is very light, but extremely clean on the palate, with some sweet honey notes, and a bit of grassy hop bitterness. Finishes slightly bitter, but well rounded.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours mid-golden with sparkling effervescence and a creamy white head. Moldy, wet grass aroma with strong DME and a touch of milk. A few days ago, the taste struck me like a harsh, high gravity beer. Today the flavor seems slightly more subdued, but the alcohol (which is a pitiful 4.7%) still comes across strong and unrefined. Otherwise I find a balanced brew with mild components leaning towards herbal hop bitterness.
