A pale golden beer with a thin head. A spicy aroma and a mild sweet-malt flavour.

Not bad for the style which is not a favorite of mine. It tastes of clean quality. Aroma of honey and hay. Taste doughy, sweet cereal, some honey, and a bit bubblebathy. Quite heavy and filling. ends with a trace of bitterness.

Dość dobre piwo z małą pianką i chmielowymi nutami. W smaku wiosenna łąka, cytrusowo chmielowy smak i wytrawny finisz. Płyn jakby lekko mętny. Kolor bardzo jasny i przejrzysty

Dark yellowish colour, not much head. Aroma of sweet citrus and a bit grassy. Flavour of citrus sweetness in the medium body - almost Kolsch-ish. Dry and refreshing.

thepeter (274) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 27, 2012
A - Deep yellow that reminded me of a dark urine color. The head lasted only minutes until it retreated into a light film leaving slippery but nice lacing. S - Very slight aromas of bitter Citrus, hops and grass. T - Very clean! Almost pilsner like in that it has a very staight forward flavor and not very much depth or complexity. Dry and a bit hoppy and just a spritz of citrus. M&D - Smooth and dry, thin body but very refreshing. I thought it went well with my roast chicken. A great palate cleanser, and would be very nice on a sunny afternoon.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2013 Pale yellow with a small head. Sweet in character, both aroma and taste but also understated.

It’s colour is a surprise to the way it tastes. In a blind tasting would have thought deep copper. Lots of flavour, sweet but still fruity. Could drink all day
