Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a light amber colored body that leaves no head, minimal lacing is left.
The smell had malts up front with a bit of floral/earthiness going on.
The taste was basically the same adding a bit of graininess.
The palate sat about a light to medium leaving a dry feel on the tongue yet nothing harsh there either, sessionable.
Overall, this was decent but nothing to go out of my way for again.
