Clear golden colour with a nice little white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Also flavour of hops, malt and some fruit. Ends up thin.

It’s pretty good. Heavy on the carbonation and more malt than bitter. Easy to drink, but not outstanding.

12 oz bottle...golden body with a light beige head...smells nice...nice malts...drinks pretty light...reminds me of Miller’s 1855 Celebration Lager, almost to a tee...a light creaminess to the body, not very complex....nice, nice, and nice...a fresh yeasty thing with a pleasant malt finish...lots of carbonation, even a smidge of lacing...quite easy to drink...the carbonation is a big presence here, which makes it creamy, but makes it hard to pick out much in the flavor

12 oz bottle pours slightly amber with a thin off white head. Aroma sweet malt and slight hoppiness. Flavor is sweet with some grassy hops almost like tea.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Clear, deep golden with a small, off-white head. Lightly sweet caramel in the nose. Light in body with unclean notes of roasted malt and caramel. Has a very soft mouthfeel. The finish is short and dry. 250308
