Last can-o-sludge sampled at 09 K-W swillfest. Pale gold, smallish white cap, reduces but laces lightly. Aromas of boiled grain husk, corn, rice dextrose sweetness. Weak mouth feel, thin and watery, dextrin sweetness, fast dry finish from the brewer’s rice. Fizzy gassy and bloating with no malt body. A poor industrial beer tarted up as a premium with the addition of hop extract.

[Bottle from my romanian colleque bought in Transsylvania.] Average good industrial beer with notes of hay, bread, grass and with a medium body.

Can 500ml.
