2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours an amber, more or less clear body with a minimal beige head. Toffee, roasted malt and a sourish in the aroma. The flavor has a sour, citrusy start, before some malt kicks in, and it finishes malty sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. A really boring but surely drinkable beer. Even though it seems to have started the journey towards awful-tasting. (080822)
