(bottle) Clear pale golden colour with a short white foam. Moderately sweet grainy malty and slightly papery aroma. Very light bodied with crispy to fizzy carbonation. Malty, not too sweet taste, minimal hoppy and grassy, slightly bitter and adjuncty finish. Might be quaffable in Kenya.

Bought at Borough Market (London).
Compact but not much long-lasting head. Yellow pale color, rather bubbly and limpid one. Lean and decidedly light scent; grass, straw and cereals notes. Medium prickly taste, little alcoholic and with a modest bitter. Little pleasant body, much gaunt and above all on the end.

Delicous, for some reason this tasted like a porter to me, at least in the body (I never took it out of the bottle). Meaty and rich tasting. SAIS final happy hour, 2006. Well done year of international beer, good student governmenters.

Pours a decent golden yellow, with a nice frothy head. Aroma is sweet with hints of honey. Flavor is a bit buttery with sour undertones. Palate is watery. Overall, this was much better than I expected. Crisp, light, and refreshing. I’d drink this again.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours yellow with a one finger thick white head. Aroma of straw, and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet, almost none, watery body, bad brew.

Bottle. Wet newspaper aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sour malt and wet newspaper flavor - changes to a light lemon flavor as it warms. Can’t give a good rating to a beer thats primarily aroma/taste is newspaper.

Pours golden with a big foamy white head, slight aroma of bananas, perfectly drinkable with a slight metallic taste. Good for a hot day.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear pale yellow with an average size diminishing white head. Aroma of sweet and funky grain. Flavour has a weird sweet grainy taste along with some stale hops. Quite watery. This is not very good.
